PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION 



^ Boston, Massachusetts, June 29, 1921. 

This compilation attempts to bring together into available form, and to properly index 
the information published to date, which may effect in any manner the duties of the Com- 
manding Officer of a company or equal organization of the National Guard of the United 
States. 

The basis for these pages is found in the National Guard Regulations published June , 
1919, and in the National Defense Act pubUshed June, 1920. 

JOHN ADAMS BECHTEL, 
(Formerly Major Nat. Army) 



PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION 



Boston, Massachusetts, May 1, 1922. 

The receipt of over one hundred unsolicited letters endorsing the 1st edition, has 
stimulated the desire to make improvements in arrangement, and to add new matter to 
the original text. 

The reception and sale of the book, leaves no doubt as to the value and necessity of 
this compilation, as an aid to the company commander in the work of administration of 
his organization. 

In the revision of the book the National Guard Regulations published in February, 
1922, have been used as a basis. 

With this new edition Major Bechtel turns over his interests in the book to

ARTICLE I 
Organization 

A. GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Organization of National Guard Units. Except as otherwise specifically provided 
herein, the organization of the National Guard, including the composition of all units thereof; 
shall be the same as that which is or may hereafter be prescribed for the Regular Army, 
subject in time of peace to such general exceptions as may be authorized by the Secretary 
of War. And the President may prescribe the particular unit or units, as to branch or 
arm of service, to be maintained in each State, Territory, or the District of Columbia in 
order to secure a force which, when combined, shall form complete higher tactical units. 

Until July 1, 1921, companies and corresponding units of the National Guard may 
be recognized at a minimum enhsted strength of fifty: Provided, That the National Guard 
of any State, Territory, and the District of Columbia may include such detachments or 
parts of units as may be necessary in order to form complete tactical units when combined 
with troops of other States. (Sec. 60 N. D. A.) 

Designation and Location of Units. Subject to the general regulations approved 
by the Secretary of War, the location and designation of units of the National Guard and 
the Organized Reserves entirely comprised within the limits of any State or Territory shall 
be determined by a board, a majority of whom shall be reserve officers, including reserve 
officers who hold or have held commissions in the National Guard and recommended for 
this duty by the Governor of the State or territory concerned. (Sec. 3a, N. D. A.) 

Designation of Units. Headquarters Companies, troops or batteries and service 
companies, troops or batteries will be designated, as, for example: 
Headquarters Company, First Army 
Headquarters Company, 1st Division 
Service Battery, 1st Field Artillery 
Service Company, 1st Medical Regiment 
Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Infantry 
Howitzer companies of Infantry regiments and combat trains of Artillery battalions 
will be designated as, for example: 

Howitzer Company, 1st Infantry 
Combat Train, 1st Battalion, 1st Field Artillery 
Separate combat trains of Field Artillery battalions are organized in war strength 
organizations only. In peace strength organizations they are incorporated in a unit with 
the battalion headquarters and headquarters detachment, and designated, for example: 

Headquarters, Headquarters Detachment, and Combat Train, 1st Bat- 
talion, 1st Field Artillery 
In Artillery ammunition trains, other than those of Infantry divisions, the transport 
batteries will be lettered from A to F, inclusive, while the ammunition batteries will be 
lettered G, H, and I. In Artillery ammunition trains of Infantry divisions, the transport 
battery will be designated Battery A, while the ammunition battery will be designated 
Battery G. 

In Cavalry regiments lettered troops of the first squadron will be designated A, B, and 
C, while those of the second squadron will be designated E, F, and G. Lettered troops of 
machine-gun squadrons will be designated A, B, and C. 

7 



Within each regiment or corresponding organization, battalion and corresponding 
organizations of the same type will be numbered seriaHy, beginning with 1, and companies 
and corresponding units of all types will be lettered alphabetically, beginning with A, for 
example: 

1st Battalion, 1st Infantry 

Company A, 1st Infantry 

Single battahons of a particular type within a regiment will be designated as, for 
example: 

Ambulance Battalion, 1st MedicalRegiment 

In each Infantry regunent. Companies D, H and M will be the machine-gun companies. 
They will be designated as, for example, "Company D" and not as "Machine Gun Com- 
pany D." 

In each anti-aircraft regiment the gun battalion will be designated as the first and the 
machine-gun battalion as the second battalion, as, for example: 

1st Battalion, 50th Artillery (anti-aircraft) 

Batteries of the gun battalion will be lettered A, B, C, and D, Battery A being the 
searchlight battery, and designated as "Battery 'A' (searchlight)." Batteries of the 
machine-gun battalion will be lettered E, F, G, and H. In each corps signal battalion the 
construction company will be designated as Company A and the operation company as 
Company B. (Pars. 5 and 6, G.O., No. 5, W. D., 1922.) 

Additional Designations of National Guard Units. The designations of Units 
of the National Guard and the Organized Reserves may show in parentheses the State, 
institution, or the present or former State organization with which a unit is identified, as, 
for example: 

301st Infantry (Mass.) 

Surgical Hospital No. 4 (Lakeside) 

101st Field Artillery (1st Mass.) 

165th Infantry (N. Y., N.G.) 

144th Infantry (Tex. N. G.) 

Whenever a State designation is shown in parentheses the shortest usually accepted 
abbreviation of the name of the State concerned will in all cases be used. 

The use of that part of the designation in parentheses which refers to States, institu- 
tions, or present or former State organizations with which a unit is identified is not obliga- 
tory, and will ordinarilly be omitted in orders, dispatches, and correspondence, but its use 
is authorized and may often be found desirable for the purpose of local identification and to 
preserve traditions. (Par. 7, G. O., No. 5, W. D., 1922.) (Par. 110b, N. G., R., 1922.) 

Location of Units. The States and Territories shall have the right to determine 
and fix the location of the units and headquarters of the National Guard within their re- 
spective borders: Provided, That no organization of the National Guard, members of 
which shall be entitled to and shall have received compensation under the provisions of 
this Act, shall be disbanded without the consent of the President, nor, without such con- 
sent, shall the commissioned or enlisted strength of any such organization be reduced below 
the minimum that shall be prescribed therefor by the President. (Sec. 68 N. D. A.) 

Subdivisions of Units and their Location. 

(a) The Regimental Headquarters Company (except engineers) should be organized 
with the entire company at a single station. 

(6) The Battalion Headquarters Company (except engineers) should be located at 
the station of the battalion commander. 

For the Field Artillery, the first, second, and third section of the Headquarters De- 
tachment and Combat Train may be located at the stations of the corresponding batteries. 

8 



(<:•) Division and Brigade Headquarters Companies, Military Police Companies, and 
Regimental Service Companies (except engineers) may be organized with all the personnel 
of each subdivision of the company at one station. 

(d) The Headquarters and Service Company of an Engineer Regiment may be organized 
in two platoons at neighboring stations. (Par. 445, N. G.R., '22.). 

War Strength of Units. National Guard organizations o\itside the territorial lim- 
its of the United States are authorized to recruit to maximum strength authorized for like 
organizations of the Regular Army. (Par. Ill, N. G. R., '22.) 

Initial Strength of Units. Until July 1, 1921, companies and corresponding units 
of the National Guard may be recognized in the discretion of the Chief, Militia Bureau, at 
a strength of 50 active enlisted men. 

Under authority granted the Secretary of War in Section 60, National Defense Act 
as amended, to make general exceptions in time of peace in the organization of National 
Guard units, the time in which companies and corresponding units of the National Guard 
may be recognized at a minimum enlisted strength of fifty as indicated in letter A. G., 
325.44 — Misc. Div. October 13, 1920, is extended to July 1, 1922. (Cir. Let. 48, M. B., 
July 23, 1921.) 

Maintenance Strength of Units. The minimum peace strength of the National 
Guard units shall be the peace strength prescribed in Tables of Organization for the Reg- 
ular Army, provided, that in those organizations in wliich the prescribed peace strength 
is greater than 65, National Guard organizations may be maintained with 65 active en- 
listed men in each organization and with assigned National Guard Reserves, the number 
of which when added to the active strength will equal or exceed the prescribed minimum 
strength for similar units of the Regular Army. (Cir. Let. No. 48, M. B., July 23, 1921.) 

The number of assigned reservists shall not exceed the number of active enlisted men 
in the organization. (Par. 110, N. G. R., '22.) 

Transfer of Enlisted Men to Form New Units. The Adjutant General of a 
State ma}'^ transfer enlisted men from one or more Federally recognized units to a new unit 
at any time prior to the Federal inspection of the new unit, provided the strength of any 
Federally recognized units from which the men are transferred be not reduced below 65 
men or below the minimum authorized. The new organization may be recognized if 
composed of such transferred men, provided it is formed throughout of men transferred 
from recognized units. (Cir. Let. No. 62, M. B., Oct. 18, 1920.) 

Strength of Converted Units. When a Federally recognized National Guard 
organization is changed in character or branch, in order to comply with the new organiza- 
tion of the Army, or in order to fit in with the allotment of units to a State, and such change 
causes any of the existing enlisted personnel to become surplus, in accordance with tables 
of organization for the National Guard and with National Guard Regulations, the follow- 
ing will govern. 

(a) In cases where a change in strength is caused by a change in character or branch 
of service any resulting excess in enhsted personnel may be retained until such excess is 
absorbed by transfer, when such is expedient, or by routine vacancies. 

(6) In case an organization has an excess of enlisted personnel, due to its having 
changed its character or branch of service, such excess can be maintained only in the grade 
of private, and new enlistments will not be permitted until the organization is brought 
within the prescribed strength; however, men in the organization may be re-enlisted upon 
expiration of current enlistments. 

(c) By June 30, 1923, all enhsted men in excess of the authorized enlisted strength 
for each unit must be discharged. (Cir. Letter M. B., No. 5, Jan. 13, 1922.) 

Disbanding Organizations. When authority is given to disband an organization 
which has been Federally recognized or when Federal recognition is withdrawn, enlisted 

9 



men of the organization should be discharged or transferred to an active organization 
(Par. 112, N. G. R., '22.) 

Notes on Militia Bureau Organization Tables. Each of the tables will set forth 
two separate compositions based on strengths as follows: 

(a) Composition based on a strength of fifty enlisted men prescribed by law as the 
minimum strength for Federal recognition only. 

(6) Composition based on the maintenance strength (65) enlisted men for most units 
prescribed by regulations 

(c) In addition there is indicated in each table the prescribed enlisted peace strength 
for the corresponding unit in the Regular Army this figure being fixed by law as the -pre- 
scrihed minimum strength for units of the National Guard and must be attained. 

The column indicating the composition between 50 and 64 men per organization for 
recognition will become obsolete on June 30, 1922. The column showing the strength 
for maintenance, 65 and upward per organization, will govern after July 1, 1922. 

Attention is called to the fact that the prescribed minimum strength may be made up 
of active members in each organization or may be made up of 65 active members and 
the balance 'Assigned Reservists.' (See Circular Letters Nos. 62 and 76, Militia Bureau, 
1920.) 

The non-commissioned officers are classified according to grades and specialists accord- 
ing to ratings, these grades and ratings are noted in tables furnished. It should be noted 
that where the Regular Army peace strength is sufficient to justify it the last column in 
each table shows the composition of the unit for strengths between 65 men and 80 per cent 
of its prescribed enhsted strength in the Regular Army. Except as otherwise noted in 
the Militia Bureau Tables whenever an organization reaches a strength in its active mem- 
bers equal to 80 per cent of the prescribed minimum for the Regular Army, that organiza- 
tion can appoint non-commissioned officers and give the ratings to all specialists as pre- 
scribed in the peace table strength for the Regular Army. Wherever the MiHtia Bureau 
tables fail to indicate the duties of non-commissioned officers and speciaHsts these men 
may be assigned duties selected from those assigned to the corresponding grades and ratings 
in the Regular Army. 

Whenever an organization falls temporarily below the required minimum enlisted 
strength, it will not be necessary to demote or disrate the surplus non-commissioned officers 
and speciahsts not provided for in the tables governing the composition of the unit at the 
reduced strength. Such surplus non-commissioned officers and specialists will be absorbed 
by discharges or routine separations, and vacancies thus created will not be filled until the 
unit has again enrolled the required minimum strength. 

Attention is invited to the following points: 

For units with a prescribed minimum enhsted strength of less than 50 men the Regular 
Army tables will govern. 

Buglers which were rated as specialists in the 6th class in G. O. No. 36 no longer have 
speciahst rating. Buglers may be appointed from the privates First Class or privates, 
but they receive no extra compensation. 

Attention is also invited to the fact that wherever the tables prescribed for the Regular 
Army indicate 'heutenants,' this term is used because the Regular Army is at present 
decidedly short of second lieutenants due to the great number of vacancies in that grade 
and second lieutenants are therefore not available. Since this condition does not exist in 
the National Guard, the tables issued by the Militia Bureau indicate the proper quota 
of first and second lieutenants for National Guard units. 

It is enjoined upon all to read these tables carefully, and to endeavor to follow them 
without question or evasion. It is believed that a careful study of the tables, together 
with this letter, will answer any of the questions which may arise, thus avoiding unnecessary 
corresppndence with the Militia Bureau." (Cir. Let. No. 1, M. B., 1921.) 

10 



Ratio of Privates Ist Class and Privates. The ratio of one private, 1st Class, to 
two privates will hold for all National Guard units unless the unit is organized according 
to and with a strength equal to that prescribed in Regular Army Tables of Organization 
when the ratio in the Regular Army Tables will apply. (Cir. Let. No. 9, M. B., Feb. 8, 
1921.)

the appointment of additional officers in the National Guard units indicated.

These Tables are copies of Regular Army Tables, the only changes being in the definite assignment of 
officers to specified grades instead of allowing the latitude in this respect required to meet the Regular Army 
situation. One Chaplain is included in the total of officers shown. 

The duties of officers and of the enlisted men not rated as specialists may be secured from Regular Army 
Tables when issued. 

The enlisted strength of the 155 mm. Howitzer unit is shown as 60 men and National Guard units should 
enroll that strength for recognition. If this is found to be impracticable without undue delay, the unit may 
be reduced to 1 Staff Sergeant, 2 Corporals and 6 Privates, lot Class, for recognition with 50 men only. 

The maintenance strength of this unit is 60 men.

Tables of Organization Medical Department. With reference to Table 83-P 
(Medical Regiment, Infantry Division, Peace Strength) the following information is fur- 
nished. By this table a Medical Regiment replaces the Sanitary Train formerly prescribed 
for an Infantry Division. All the functions formerly pertaining to the Sanitary Train as 
now broadly laid down in the Manual for the Medical Department will, under the present 
tables of organization, be performed by the Medical Regiment. 

Regimental Headquarters of the Medical Regiment replaces the Headquarters of the 
old Sanitary Train, and also includes the Division Surgeon's office. The senior medical 
officer in a division commands the medical regiment and also is and discharges the functions 
of division surgeon, being responsible to the Division Commander for the supervision and 
coordination of all Medical Department activities within the Division. 

The Sanitary Company is a new organization and embraces what was formerly the 
litter bearer and Dressing Station Sections of the old Ambulance Company. In combat 
it performs the functions previously prescribed for those sections, i.e., providing the per- 
sonnel and equipment for establishing a dressing station, and litter bearers for transporting 
the sick and wounded. When not in combat the sanitary company is divisible if necessary 
into several sanitary squads carrying out practically the same functions as were assigned 
to sanitary squads during the World War although in the case of a division they carry on 
their work within the limits of the divisional area. No equipment has been prescribed for 
a sanitary company to date. Until its equipment is definitely determined the equipment 
for establishing a Dressing Station Section of an Ambulance Company as prescribed in 
paragraph 878, M. M. D., and 10 litters will be furnished this unit. 

The Ambulance Company of the Medical Regiment is the old Ambulance Company of 
the Sanitary Train less the dressing station and litter bearer sections mentioned above. It 
now becomes exclusively a transportation unit. Until its equipment is definitely settled, 
it will be essentially as prescribed in paragraph 874, Manual for the Medical Department, 
less that part of the equipment enumerated in that paragraph as intended for the dressing 
stations and litter bearer sections. The foregoing appHes to the animal drawn company. 
For the motorized company there will be selected from paragraph 874 only such articles as 
are essential for the training of this new unit and adaptable to motor transport conditions. 
The training of the animal drawn and motorized companies of the new medical regiment is 
similar to what was formerly required for the old Ambulance Company of the Sanitary Train, 
bearing in mind that the litter bearer and dressing station sections are no longer a con- 
stituent part of the unit. 

The use of the term Field Hospital has been discontinued and Hospital Company 
substituted therefor. The functions of the hospital company are substantially the same 
as those formerly pertaining to the old field hospital. Pending the receipt of the new 
equipment tables its equipment should conform to such essential articles in paragraph 879 
Manual for the Medical Department as may be necessary to carry on training functions. 
In this connection it is to be remembered that in Tables of Organization motor transporta- 
tion is prescribed for this unit in heu of animal drawn. The training of Hospital Companies 
will be conducted along the same Hnes as was formerly given a field hospital. 

The medical supply section of the medical regiment, at peace strength, consists of one 
captain or one lieutenant of the Medical Administrative Corps and eight enlisted men of 
the Medical Department. Its function is to requisition for and furnish medical supplies 
in the field for the entire medical service of the Division. Its training will be such as to 
fit its personnel for the efficient performance of these duties. 

The Veterinary Company of the medical regiment consists of 2 officers of the veterinary 
corps of the rank of captain or heutenant, one of whom serves as the Division Meat Inspector 
and of 26 enlisted men of the Medical Department who elect veterinary service. It re- 
places the Mobile Veterinary Section previously authorized and described in Special 
Regulations No. 70, W. D., (with changes No.fl), paragraphs 31 to 37 inclusive, and 113 to 
124 inclusive. Its functions are as outlined therein for the mobile veterinary section. 
Pending the issue of new equipment tables its equipment will be restricted to essential 

51 



articles to be selected from the tables of veterinary supplies in the Manual for the Medical 
Department. Its training will be of such nature as will best 6t it to perform the duties 
prescribed for it under the Special Regulations above mentioned. 

The Medical Laboratory Section is practically a new feature and an outgrowth of the 
World War. As it has no prototype in existing regulations to which reference can be made 
the following text of the proposed regulations to govern these units is given in order that 
properly qualified personnel may be assigned to them and understand the important func- 
tions devolving upon them during training or mobilization periods. 



MEDICAL REGIMENT 
The Medical Laboratory Section 

General Statement. The primary object of this unit relates to the prevention and 
control of communicable diseases and the maintenance of the health among military per- 
sonnel and animals in commands of which the medical regiment forms a part. Secondarily 
it will perform such routine general laboratory work for the command of which the medical 
regiment forms a part as can not be accomplished by other laboratories in the administrative 
area served by it. 

Organization (Peace and War Strength). Tables of organization in force at 
present provide for one Captain or Lieutenant, Medical Corps, and five enhsted men, peace 
strength and one Major, Medical Corps, and one Captain or Lieutenant Sanitary Corps 
and seven enlisted men, Medical Department, War strength. 

Personnel Commissioned and Enlisted. The Medical Officers selected for this 
unit should be competently trained in routine laboratory methods and have a thorough 
knowledge of the laboratory procedure relating to diagnosis of communicable diseases 
(typhoid-paratyphoid fevers; bacillary dysenteries; malta fever, cholera; infections of the 
respiratory tract including diphtheria, pneumonia and meningitis: protozoal infections 
including malaria and filariasis) and the examinations of material for pathogenic organisms 
causing venereal diseases; examinations for helminths; and examinations of specimens for 
other pathogenic organisms relating to communicable diseases. They should be competent 
to investigate the epidemiology of outbreaks of communicable diseases and advise as to the 
proper measures to be instituted for their control. 

They should be competently trained to make the required bacteriological examinations 
for the determination of potability of water supply, milk and other food supplies. 

The enlisted personnel should have such training in laboratory technique as will enable 
them to act as technical assistants in the performance of the laboratory duties. 

Location. Unless otherwise directed the laboratory normally will be established at 
or near the headquarters of the medical regiment. 

Administrative ControL As this unit constitutes part of the medical regiment it 
will be directly under the command of the Commanding Officer thereof. The Commanding 
Officer of the Medical Regiment has a dual responsibility, that of Division Surgeon and 
Regimental Commander. When forming part of an Infantry Division the duties to be 
performed by the medical laboratory section will be under the immediate direction and 
supervision of the assistant of the Division Surgeon — the Division Sanitary Inspector. 

Functions. It will function under the immediate supervision and direction of the 
Division Sanitaryllnspector and will be used by him as an instrument in the control and 
prevention of communicable diseases and maintenance of the health of the divisional 
military personnel and animals. 

Its personnel will be concerned primaril}^ in the laboratory and epidemiological in- 
vestigation of outbreaks of communicable diseases, detection of carriers and advisory 
supervision of their treatment, application of immunity tests, supervision of administration 
of prophylactic inoculations, examination of food handlers for carriers, routine and special 

52 



laboratory surveys of military personnel and animals, special investigations of the "carrier" 
problem with view to the determination of the influence of carriers of pathogenic organisms 
on the spread of communicable diseases, experimental investigation of suggested prophy- 
lactic measures and such other scientific investigations as may give promise of practical 
benefit to the Army in disease prevention and maintenance of health. 

Under the direction of the division sanitary inspector the personnel will make such 
periodic laboratory examinations of the water supply, milk and other food supplies as may 
be necessary, will supervise the instruction of regimental and other personnel in authorized 
methods of sterilization of water supply for use in the field and will make such scientific 
investigations of hygienic and general sanitary measures as may be considered desirable 
and of value to the military service. 

Equipment. Until the new equipment for this unit has been included in the equip- 
ment tables and is available for issue the equipment of these medical laboratory sections 
will be restricted to such essential and standard laboratory supplies as are in stock and 
listed in the Manual for the Medical Department.

C. FEDERAL RECOGNITION OF UNITS 

Definition of Federal Recognition. "Federal recognition" is the acceptance by 
the Federal Government as National Guard, of officers or a body of enrolled officers and 
men who have complied with the provisions of the act of June 3, 1916, and who are en- 
titled to the benefits of the act. (Par. 101, N. G. R. '22.) 

Conditions to be Fulfilled. Certain conditions set forth hereafter are requisite for 
Federal recognition. The National Guard plan does not extend to or embrace the organ- 
ization of new units, with no armories, no grouping of personnel according to locaUties, and 
no probable permanency of existence, but contemplates the development of a force, equipped 
and trained as far as possible in time of peace, which can be called upon for service in time 
of emergency. (Par. 153, N. G. R., '22.) 

Recognition of National Guard units will be extended by the Secretary of War upon 
the following conditions: 

(a) The unit must have been specifically allotted to the State. 

(6) Suitable armories and storage faciUties shall be provided by the State. This 
extends to and includes stable facihties for mounted troops and satisfactory housing for 
vehicles and armaments. 

(c) The personnel must be drawn from the immediate vicinity. 

id) There shall be a reasonable certainty of the necessary number of assemblies for 
drill and training prescribed by the War Department. 

(e) All units shall be organized under approved Tables of Organization, unless gen- 
eral exceptions are authorized by the Secretary of War in time of peace. 

(/) Units shall be recruited to the strength prescribed by the Secretary of War as 
necessary for Federal recognition. 

No new units will be inspected for recognition unless organized pursuant to allotment 
(Par. 154, N. G. R., '22.) 

Status Prior to Federal Recognition. Prior to the receipt of Federal recognition 
as National Guard, an organization or an individual belonging thereto has the status of 
State forces not yet a part of the National Guard. (Par. 156, N. G. R.,'22.) 

Procedure to Acquire Federal Recognition, (a) After units have been allotted 
to a State, Territory, or the District of Columbia, the adjutant general of the State, Terri- 
tory, or the District of Columbia concerned will advise the Chief of the MiHtia Bureau by 
letter of the units it is desired to organize, describing them accurately. (Par. 157a, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Authorization of Units. After verification and approval, the Secretary of War, 
through the Militia Bureau, will authorize specifically by letter, the organization of units, 
giving at the same time such supplementary or special instructions relating to organiza- 
tions as may be deemed necessary. 

No Authority to Recruit Prior to Authorization. Men should not be recruited 
and required to sign the Federal enUstment contract prior to the allotment of the par- 
ticular organization to which those men will be eventually assigned. (Par. 155, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Appointment of Officers. When authority has been extended for organization, 
officers will be selected or appointed in accordance with the provisions of section 74, act 
of June 3, 1916, and within the age hmit for the several grades as prescribed in paragraph 
221 of these regulations. While these officers will not he extended Federal recognition until 
the organizations to which they belong have been inspected and recognized by the War Depart- 
ment, any such officer who, according to State statute, is authorized to administer oaths, is 
eligible to administer the oath of office to officers as prescribed in section 73, act of June 3, 
1916, and the oath of enlistment prescribed in section 70, idem. (Par. 157b, N. G. R., *22.)

Federal Recognition will be Extended to Medical Officers prior to the recogni- 
tion of the units to which they are to be assigned, in order that they may be used in making 
the physical examinations required. (Page 3, Insts. for Fed. Recog.) 

Recruiting. As soon as an officer competent to administer the oath and a medical 
officer have been appointed, the actual work of enlisting should begin and by a vigorous 
recruiting campaign, the number necessary for Federal recognition, should be enlisted. 
(Page 5, Instruction for Fed. Recog.) 

State and Federal Inspections. The adjutant general of the State, Territory, or 
the District of Columbia will then cause the organization to be inspected by an officer of 
the State, Territory, or District of Columbia to determine whether or not the conditions 
contemplated by law for Federal recognition can be met by the new organizations (par. 
150 supra). 

An inspection by a Regular Army officer is required prior to Federal recognition. 
When a State is ready to have an organization inspected report will be made to the Militia 
Bureau, and the corps area commander will be directed by the War Department to cause 
the inspection to be made. The inspector will verify the members from the enlistment 
papers (Form 22-1, A. G. O.), check the previous service of one-year enlistments, and 
see that all the men presented have been properly examined physically (Form 135-1, 
A, G. 0.) and properly enlisted, and that their general appearance is satisfactory. He will 
make such inquiry and examination of the officers as will enable him to report upon their 
qualifications and suitability for the grade in which they have been commissioned, and will 
report his conclusions on each officer under head of "Remarks" on Form 113, M. B. He 
will base his recommendation as to recognition upon compliance by the organization with 
the conditions set forth above. Should the result of his inspection justify Federal recogni- 
tion, the inspector will, upon its conclusion, administer the dual oath, unless there is con- 
clusive proof that the enlistment oath has been administered by a National Guard officer 
who has been extended Federal recognition by the Militia Bureau, or by a State military 
officer who has not yet received Federal recognition hut who, under the statutes of the particular 
State, IS authorized to administer oaths. (Par. 157, N. G. R., '22.) 

Composition of a Unit for Federal Recognition. A unit presented for Federal 
recognition shall NOT be composed partly of unrecognized enlisted men and partly of 
enlisted men transferred from other Federally recognized units. A new unit must be formed 
throughout of recognized or throughout of unrecognized ei-!isted personnel. (Cir. Let. 
No. 62, M. B., Oct. 18, 1920.) 

Records and Report of Federal Inspection. Upon completion of the inspection 
the inspecting officer will mail his report (Form 113, M. B.), with a complete roster of the 
company, troop, battery or detachment (Form 104, M. B.), and his recommendations, 
together with the following, to the department commander for transmission to the Militia Bureau: 

(1) Accomplished Form 95, Militia Bureau, for all officers; 

(2) Accomplished Form 108, Militia Bureau, for all officers; 

(3) Two letters of recommendation as to the character, morals, and habits of each applicant 
for original Federal recognition. 

(4) Notice of appointment of each applicant for Federal recognition, 

(5) Accomplished Oath of Office (Form 337-1, A. G ) for all officers. {Par. 157, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Record of Reserve Commission. Hereafter in preparing Form 108 for the recog- 
nition of National Guard officers it will be recorded whether the appHcant is a member 
of the Officers' Reserve Corps at the time of making his application giving the grade, 
branch, and date of appointment. (Cir. Let. No. 47, M. B., July 19, 1921.) 

Official Designation in Oath of Office. In the preparation of oaths of office the 
numerical designation and name of the units should be omitted, only the rank and arm, 

56 



corps, or department being shown. "Example: — Major, Infantry". (Cir> Let. No. 75, 
M. B., Nov. 24, 1920.) 

Oath of Office on Transfer. Officers transferred out of the branch in which they 
hold commission should submit nev/ oaths of office, through the Adjutants General of the 
State to the Militia Bureau who will then issue a notice of Federal recognition in the new 
branch. (Cir. Let. No. 5, M. B., Jan. 28, 192L) 

Common Errors Made. The most common errors noted at Federal inspections for 
recognition are the following: (a) presentation of a company not properly organized, some- 
times lacking required officers, non-commissioned officers, etc.; (6) naming of officers not 
qualified by law (see section 74, act of June 3, 1916; (c) the enlistment of boys under eigh- 
teen years of age; (d) same as to men over forty-five (except reenlistment); (e) lack of record 
of physical competence of personnel; (/) failure to complete Form 108, M. B., for each 
officer, (Par. 160, N. G R., '22.) 

Federal Recognition of Converted Units. Conversions of units to conform to the 
new allotments of troops and to the recently issued Tables of Organization may be effected 
as soon as the Tables are revised and under the following conditions: 

(a) When the conversion is effected within a single branch of the service and a new 
unit is not required to provide storage facilities for a quantity or character of material 
differing greatly from that of the old unit, no formal inspection for recognition will be 
required. The State authorities should issue orders covering the transfer or conversion, 
indicating the date upon which the conversion is effective and the Tables of Organization 
(Regular Army or modified Tables issued by the MiHtia Bureau) to which the unit should 
conform. The Militia Bureau should be furnished with a copy of such State orders. In 
this connection, it must be understood that the new unit must be composed wholly of 
National Guard personnel. 

(6) Where the conversion requires the new unit to accept responsibility for a greater 
quantity, or different character, of material than was prescribed for the old unit, or where 
the conversion requires the recognition of the unit in a different branch of the service, 
the customary inspection for Federal recognition may be called for if desired, or this in- 
spection may be dispensed with provided the State authorities furnish the Militia Bureau 
with a certificate executed by a Federal Inspector-Instructor indicating that the newly- 
organized unit conform to the prescribed Tables and is composed wholly of National Guard 
personnel, and that adequate storage and armory facilities exist for the personnel and for 
the changed equipment to be provided. Upon receipt of this certificate the Mihtia Bureau 
will extend recognition to the unit on its new status, this recognition being effective as of 
the State order directing the conversion. (Cir. Let. 5, M. B., Jan. 26, 1921.)

Physical Examination of Air Service Officers. The following regulations are 
published for the information and guidance of all concerned, particular attention is called 
to portion of paragraph 2 in itahcs. 

1. All pilots and observers of the National Guard will be subject to the rules and 
regulations regarding physical examination for flying that are required for officers of the 
Regular Army. 

2. Upon recognition of a National Guard flying unit, the medical officer attached 
thereto will report by letter to the Corps Area or Department Commander, and request 
that a flight surgeon of the Special Air Service physical examiner on duty at the Head- 
quarters of his Corps Area or his Department, be directed to visit the unit and make the 
prescribed examination for all pilots and observers. Prior to this examination no flying 
will he engaged in by the unit and no pilot or observer will fly until the examination has been 
taken and officially approved by the War Department. To facilitate this matter all papers 
will be sent by the Commanding Officer of the unit to the Adjutant General of the State, 
who will forward them direct to the Chief of the Mihtia Bureau. They will be returned 
with appropriate action through the same channels. 

3. At regular intervals, and not less than once in every six months, the Air Service 
examiner will be directed by the Corps Area or Department Commander to visit all units 
in his Corps Area for the purpose of examining pilots or observers. 

4. The medical officer attached to each National Guard flying unit is charged with 
a grave responsibihty in the matter of the physical condition of its pilots and observers. 
Wherever possible these officers will be given short courses of instruction at the Regular 
Army Schools for flight surgeons. In cases where these officers are quaUfied as flight 
surgeons or physical examiners they will perform the duties required of similar officers in 
the Regular Army. In other cases they will perform the flight surgeon's duties to the best 
of their abiUty and wiU exercise a close supervision over the physical condition of all officers 
on duty with the unit. They will make such recommendations regulating the flying of 
individuals as they deem wise. In the absence of a flight surgeon, the Commanding Officer 
of the unit is responsible that no officer flies who is unfitted for such flights. 

5. Officers of these units will be put on and removed from flying status by the Com- 
manding Officer of the unit. Rules governing flying status of these officers will the same 
as those for officers of the Regular Army. 

6. Medical officers are encouraged to write direct to the Chief of the Mihtia Bureau 
or to the Chief of the Air Service for such technical advice or instructions as they may 
desire. (Let. 201, 541, M. B., July 6, 1921.) 

Form and Procedure in Air Service Examinations. 1. Under the requirements 
of Mihtia Bureau letter (File No. 201,541, dated July 6, 1921) physical examination must 
be made by flight surgeons or special Air Service physical examiners, U. S. A., who forward 
two copies of the examination on Form 609, A. G. O., to this Bureau. 

2. Both copies of Form No. 609, A. G. 0., received by this Bureau will be indorsed 
"Quahfied for Flying" or "NOT quahfied for Flying" as the case may be. 

3. One of the Forms No. 609, thus indorsed is to be retained in this Bureau and the 
other forwarded to the Adjutant General of the State concerned for his information and 
file. 

4. The Adjutant General of the State concerned will furnish a certified copy of this 
form 609, A. G. O., with its indorsement as to ehgibihty or otherwise, to the commanding 
officer of the unit to which the officer or enlisted man concerned belongs. No person should 
be permitted to fly until this certified copy has been received by his commanding officer. 

5. If the officer under examination is a member of the Officers' Reserve Corps, a 
certified copy of this Form 609, A.G.O., should be sent to the Surgeon General of the Army. 

65 



6. When a member of the Air Service is transferred from one station or organization 
to another, his commanding officer will furnish the commanding officer of the new station 
or organization with a copy of Form 609. 

7. If the physical examination record of any officer or enlisted man is incomplete, 
unsatisfactory, or not at hand, or there is doubt of any character as to his eligibility for 
flying, the commanding officer of the organization to which he belongs will direct the dis- 
continuance of flying until his physical qualifications have been properly determined, 
recorded, and certified as required by Militia Bureau Letter No. 201.541, July 6, 1921, and 
by Pars. 2, 3^ and 4, above. 

8. Re-examination should be required from time to time as deemed expedient by this 
Bureau or as may be considered necessary by commanding officers to determine the physical 
fitness of any one to continue on flying or training duty. 

9. Commanding Officers are directed to relieve from flying training or suspend from 
flying training any individual considered physically unfit, and request a physical examina- 
tion of such officer or enlisted man, authorizing the resumption of training only when the 
officer or enlisted man is found physically fit and so reported from the Bureau. (Let. 
201, 541 M.B., Sept. 7, 1921.)

D. THE NATIONAL GUARD RESERVE 

General Provisions of the Law. Surplus officers of the National Guard. Officers 
of the said guard rendered surplus by the disbandment of their organizations shall be placed 
in the National Guard Reserve. Officers may, upon their own appUcation, be placed in 
the said reserve., (Sec. 77, N. D. A.) 

Authority for Enlistments. That hereafter, men duly qualified under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of War may enlist in the National Guard Reserve for a period 
of one or three years, under such regulations as the Secretary of War shall prescribe, and 
on so enHsting they shall subscribe to the following enlistment contract and take the oath 
therein specified: "I do hereby acknowledge to have voluntarily enlisted this — -day oi 

— , 19, — as a soldier in the National Guard Reserve of the United States and of the 

State of , for a period of one (or three) year — , unless sooner discharged by proper 

authority, and I do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the United 

States of America and to the State of , and that I will serve them honestly and 

faithfully against all their enemies whomsoever and that I will obey the orders of the 

President of the United States and the governor of the State of , and of the officers 

appointed over me according to law and the rules and Articles of War": Provided, That 
members of said reserve, officers and enlisted men, when engaged in field or coast defense 
training with the active National Guard, shall receive the same Federal pay and allowances 
as those occupying like grades on the active list of said guard when likewise engaged: 
Provided further, That, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act, no com- 
missioned or enhsted reservist shall receive any pay or allowances out of any appropriation 
made by Congress for National Guard purposes. (Sec. 78, N. D. A.) 

Officers of the National Guard Reserve may be obtained only in the manner 
authorized by Sec. 77, of the National Defense Act, and there is no authority in law for 
original appointment in the National Guard Reserve. The two classes from which they 
may be obtained are as follows: — (Opinion of J. A. G., Oct. 6, 1920.) 

(a) Upon their own application, in time of peace, officers of the National Guard may 
be transferred to the National Guard Reserve after completing three years' commissioned 
service in an active organization of the National Guard, including commissioned service in 
the United States Army. Officers of less than three years' service with an active organiza- 
tion shall not be transferred to the National Guard Reserve except in cases where the active 
organizations to which they are assigned have been disbanded. (Par. 169 (a), N. G. R., 
'22.) 

(6)1 From surplus officers. Upon the disbanding of an organization of the National 
Guard, authorized by the Mihtia Bureau, all commissioned officers quahfied for active 
service, except those transferred or assigned to active units, will be transferred in the grade 
in which they are commissioned to the National Guard Reserve. (Par. 169 (6), N. G. R., 
'22.) 

Retained on Active List. The following instructions on the above subject from the 
Secretary of War to the Militia Bureau are published for the information and guidance of 
all concerned: 

"Officers of the National Guard units Federally recognized prior to March 1, 1921, 
and rendered surplus through the reorganization of such units under tables of organiza- 
tion, 1921, will be retained on active duty status as additional officers in such units 
until absorbed through vacancy or the annual expansion of the National Guard required 
under Section 62, National Defense Act, approved June 3, 1916. Additional officers 
not absorbed as herein provided by June 30, 1923, will be transferred to the National 
Guard Reserve." (Par. 1, Cir. Let. M. B., No. 18, 1921.) 

Active Duty. Officers of the National Guard Reserve cannot become members of 
the active National Guard in time, of peace, except by appointment. Their status as 
reserve officers provides eligibility only for appointment to the active list (Sec. 74, N. D. A.). 

68 



They may engage in field training or coast defense training with the active National Guard 
when authorized by proper authority. (Par. 180, N. G. R., '19.) 

Classification of Reservists. The National Guard Reserve shall consist of: 
(a) Assigned reservists. 

Assipjned reservists include all officers and enlisted men of the National Guard Reserve 
who are assigned to active organizations. 
(6) Unassigned reservists. 

Unassigned reservists include all other persons commissioned or enhsted in the National 
Guard Reserve, who for pertinent reasons are not assigned to active organizations. (Par. 
168 N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — Civilians cannot be appointed to commissions in the National Guard Reserve. 
(Cir. Let. 76, M. B., '20. ^ 

Eligibility for Enlistment in the National Guard Reserve shall be limited to: 

(a) Persons who have served not less than four months in the United States Army, 

Navy, or Marine Corps, between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918. 

(6) Persons who have served not less than one year in the Regular Army, the National 

Guard in the service of the United States, the Navy, or in the Marine Corps, exclusive of 

the period April 6, 1917 — November 11, 1918. 

(c) Persons who have served in the National Guard for not less than three years. 

(d) Persons who have served a three year enlistment in the Organized Reserves and 
have attended a basic course of instruction for enHsted men for a period of thirty days 
during such enlistment. (Par. 181 N. G. R., '22.) 

Persons who are inehgible for enlistment in the National Guard Reserve on account 
of insufficient service in any one of the first three classes above (a), (6), or (c), may receive 
a total credit of valuing one day's service under the first class (a); as equivalent to three 
days' service in the second class (6), and to nine days' service in the third class (c). 

All service shall be attested by honorable discharge certificate or certified copy thereof. 
(Par. 182 N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlistments and reenhstments shall be governed with respect to age and physical 
qualifications, by current regulations for enlistment in the National Guard. (Par. 183 N. 
G. R., '22.) 

Term of Enlistment shall be: One year, for men who served not less than four 
months in the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corps between April 6, 1917, and 
November 11, 1918, and three years, for all others. (Cir. Let. 76, M. B., '20.) 

Enlistment Papers for Reserves. Pending the preparation of new blank forms 
covering enlistments in the National Guard Reserves, Forms Nos. 22-1 and 135-1 A. G. O., 
with the necessary changes will be used. These changes for the present will consist of 
inserting the word "Reserve" after the word ''National Guard", wherever necessary. 
(Cir. Let. No. 86, M. B., Dec. 27, 1920.) 

Number of Enlisted Reservists that may be Assigned to Active Units: 

(a) The number of enlisted reservists who may be assigned to any company, troop or 
battery shall not exceed the number of active enlisted men in such unit, provided, that the 
total enlisted strength, active or reserve, shall not exceed the prescribed war strength of 
such unit. 

(6) In units where the authorized enlisted peace strength is less than sixty-five, no 
enlisted reservists shall be assigned until the prescribed peace strength, in active enlisted 
men, has been reached. (Par. 180 N. G. R., '22.; 

Attendance at Field Training. It is especially desired that all National Guard 
organizations may participate in the next annual period of field instruction with the maxi- 

69 



mum strength of assigned enlisted reservists as provided for in this circular letter. In order 
that this may be accompHshed, it is very necessary that such enlistment be promptly 
started. (Cir. Let. 76, M. B., '20.) 

Credit for Attendance. Members of the assigned National Guard Reserve shall be 
required to attend field training and will be considered in computing the minimum strength 
required for participation in field training. (Par. 184, N. G. R., '22.) 

Equipment and Clothing. Equipment and clothing for all assigned reservists 
should be on hand in each organization and if not now on hand must be secured by requisi- 
tion before the next field training period Assigned reservists must be actually enlisted 
before requisitions are submitted. (Cir. Let. 76, M. B., '20.) 

Minimum Strength of Organization. The assigned reserve v/ill not be considered 
in computing the maintenance strength of sixty-five active members as required by 
Circular Letters No. 35, June 16, and No. 62, October 16, 1920, Mihtia Bureau. (Cir. 
Let. 76, M. B., '20.) 

Records. The records of reservists enlisted for or assigned to particular organiza- 
tions will be kept in their organizations, until the reservists are transferred or discharged, 
at which time the record will be forwarded to the Adjutant General of the state. (Par. 186 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Attendance at Armory DrilL Officers and enlisted men of the assigned and un- 
assigned National Guard Reserve, upon their own request, may be authorized to attend 
the armory instruction of active organizations, but they will not form any part of the 
minimum strength of attendance required by the War Department at such instruction nor 
be entitled to armory pay or allowances. (Par. 193, N. G. R., '22.) 

No Federal Pay for Armory DrilL Members of the National Guard Reserve 
assigned to organizations under provisions of paragraph 180 will not be placed on active 
duty nor be entitled to Federal pay and allowances except under a call or draft by the 
Federal Government or when engaged in field or coast defense training. (Par. 184, N. G. 
R., '22.) 

Field Training Pay. When members of the National Guard Reserve are engaged 
in field or coast defense training they will receive the pay and allowances of enlisted men 
of the National Guard of like grade. (Par. 192, N. G. R., '22.)

each battahon, squadron, company, troop, battery, or detachment stationed separately 
shall be detailed by the commanding officer thereof to enlist for the regiment, battalion 
squadron, company, troop, battery, or detachment. (Par. 318, N. G. R., '22.) 

Recruiting officers will not allow any man to be enticed into the service by false rep- 
resentations, but will in person explain to every man before he signs the enlistment papers, 
the nature and terms of the enUstment contract, length of the term of service, and the 
amount of pay and other allowances to which he is entitled by law. He vjill read to him 
the declaration of applicant on enHstment papers before the applicant signs same, after which 
the oath of enlistment will be administered, and signed by the applicant after it has been 
read and explained to him, and will then be subscribed to by an officer of the Regular Army 
or an officer of the National Guard detailed as recruiting officer. (Par. 330, N. G. R., '22.) 

Recruiting officers will be very particular to ascertain the true age of every appHcant 
for enHstment. If any doubt exists as to the applicant's statement regarding his age, his 
oath will not be taken as conclusive evidence of the fact, and if he cannot furnish competent 
proof to support his statement he will be rejected. (Par. 327, N. G. R., '19.) 

Recruiting officers will be held to a rigid accountabihty for accepting men who may be 
found unfitted for the service. If a man after having been enlisted be discharged because of 
unfitness for service, and it appears that the enlistment was carelessly made and in violation 
of these regulations, the officer responsible will be liable to trial by court-martial. (Par. 
328, N. G. R., '22.) 

A. ENLISTMENTS 

Qualifications of Applicants. Any male citizen of the United States and of the 
State, Territory, or the District of Columbia concerned, or person who has legally declared 
his intention to become a citizen, if above the age of 18 and under the age of 45 years, aWe- 
bodied, free from disease, of good character and temperate habits, may be accepted for en- 
Hstment in the National Guard of any State, Territory, or the District of Columbia, with 
the exceptions herein stated. The restriction as to maximum age and citizenship shall not 
apply to soldiers who have previously served honestly and faithfully in the United States 
Army, Regular Army, the Organized Mihtia, or the National Guard, (Par. 319, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlistments of Certain Classes Prohibited. The enHstment of persons of any of 
the foUomng classes is prohibited: Persons who because of religious belief shall claim 
exemption from military service; insane or intoxicated persons; persons who have been 
convicted of a felony or who have been imprisoned under sentence of a court in a reforma- 
tory, jail, or penitentiary; persons under 18 years of age and, for original enHstment 
persons over 45 years of age; for first enlistment in time of peace, any person (except an 
Indian) who is not a citizen of the United States or Porto Rico, or who has not made legal 
declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States, or who cannot speak, 
read, and write the EngHsh language; deserters from the miHtary or naval service of the 
United States; persons in the military or naval service of the United States; persons draw- 
ing a military pension from the United States or from any State; members of the Regular 
Army Reserve; members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps; and a former member of the United 

71 



States Army, the Regular Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, the Organized Militia, or the 
National Guard whose services during the last preceding term of enUstment have not been 
honest and faithful or whose discharge certificate from the last preceding enUstment bears 
the notation "is not recommended for reenHstment." (Par. 321, N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlistment of Members of Officers* Reserve Corps. In accordance with an ap- 
proved opinion rendered by the Judge Advocate General of the Army, a member of the 
Officers' Reserve Corps may enlist in the National Guard and at the same time retain his 
conmiission in the Officers' Reserve Corps. (Circular Letter M. B., No. 85, 1920.) 

Enlistment of Members of R. O. T. C, Members of the National Guard, other than 
commissioned officers, may enroll as members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, with the 
consent of the Governor of their respective States or Territories, or of the District of Columbia 
Militia with the consent of the commanding general thereof. Such consent shall in each case, 
specifically excuse the member of the National Guard as such from any duty which would con- 
fiict with any obligation contained in Regulations for members of the Reserve Officers' Training 
Corps. Members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps may enlist in the National Guard 
with the same restrictions as appertain to enlisted men of the National Guard enrolling m the 
Reserve Officers' Training Corps: Provided, that not exceeding ten per centum of the minimum 
authorized enlisted strength of any company, troop, battery, or similar organization of the 
National Guard, may at the same time be enlisted men of the National Guard and enrolled 
members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. (Circular Letter M. B., No. 55, 1920.) 

Enlistment of a Pensioner. The enlistment of a pensioner in the National Guard' 
not in Federal service, would not terminate his pension, but in the event of his being called 
into Federal service his title to pension would terminate from the date of his re-entry into 
such service. (Cir. Let. 21, M. B., July 26, 1918.) 

National Guard at Civilian Military Training Camps. EnHsted men of the 
National Guard may enroU for attendance at any of the Civilian Military Training Camps, 
provided, that not exceeding ten per centum of the enlisted strength of any National Guard 
organization may be, at the same time, so enrolled. (Par. 1006, N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlistment of Members of Public Health Service. In an opinion rendered August 
5, 1920, the Judge Advocate General of the Army states: "It appears that there is no statu- 
tory provision against members. Regular or Reserve (on active duty or not) of the U. S. 
Pubhc Health Service becoming members of the National Guard." The Secretary of War 
and Secretary of the Treasury have indicated that they will welcome such membership in 
the National Guard. (Circular Letter M. B., No. 55, 1920.) 

Enlistment of Members of the Naval Reserve in the National Guard. The 

following extracts from communications received from the Chief Bureau of Navigation. 
Navy Department, give the policy of that Department on the above subject, and are quoted 
for the information of all concerned: 

"It has come to the attention of this Bureau that in certain instances commanding 
officers of the National Guard units have enHsted members of the Naval Reserve Force on 
inactive duty without first having obtained discharges from the Reserve Force. 

"It is requested that commanding officers of National Guard units be advised that it is 
absolutely necessary that the individual be discharged from the Naval Reserve Force prior 
to executing oath for enlistment in the National Guard." 

"It is not the policy of the Navy Department to authorize the discharge of members of 
the Reserve Force to join the National Guard. These men have been trained at sea under 
war conditions, and form a valuable asset to the Navy and to the Nation, so that it is most 
desirable to continue them as a part of the Naval Reserve Force. The training for the Navy 
is entirely different from that in the National Guard, and the Federal Government is the 
loser by transferring men from the naval to the military service. 

"In case there are any special cases of men preferring service in the National Guard to 
that in the Naval Reserve Force, such men should make application to the Commandant of 

72 



the District in which they reside and each case will be considered upon its merit. The 
Navy Department will not issue general authority to discharge members of the Reserve 
Force to enable them to enter the National Guard." (Circular Letter No. 11, M. B., 1921.) 

Applications of Non-Residents. Applications to enlist in the National Guard from 
persons who have not been residents of the community in which enlistment is desired for at 
least three months immediately preceding the application will not be granted without 
special authority from the regimental or other higher commanding officer, if there be no 
regimental organization. (Par. 323, N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlistment of Married Men. The enlistment or reenhstment of married men or of 
persons having others dependent upon them for support is to be discouraged and will be 
permitted only for some good reason in the public interest, such as for the purpose of be- 
coming an officer. In no case will it be authorized when the person's family or dependents 
would be left without support in case he should be called into the service of the United 
States. Apphcations for such enhstments and reenlistments will be determined finally by 
the regimental or other higher commanding officer if there be no regimental organization. 
No release from service will be extended to a married man on accoimt of a marriage con- 
tracted after entry into the service. (Par. 322, N. G. R., '22.) 

Applicants for Original Enlistments. Applicants for original enlistment and men 
who apply to enter the National Guard after an interval of more than three months from 
date of discharge from the Regular Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, or from the Organized 
Mihtia or the National Guard will be required to furnish evidence of good character. (Par. 
324, N. G. R., '22. 

Former members of the United States Army, the Regular Army, Navy, or Marine 
Corps, the Organized Militia, or the National Guard, who apply to enter or reenter the 
National Guard, and who cannot pass the required examinations in all respects, will not 
be enlisted without special authority from the Secretary of War. In such cases the appli- 
cant will be subjected to the complete examination and the results will be reported when 
application is made for special authority for his enUstment or reenlistment. (Par. 325, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlistment of Men while their own Unit is awaiting Federal Recognition. 

The Mihtia Bureau has observed that men first enrolled in a company may become dis- 
couraged before the minimum strength for Federal recognition is secured. It is beheved 
that this loss would end if the men enrolled were assigned to a recognized unit, in the vi- 
cinity, in which they can be equipped and receive armory drill pay while awaiting for the 
necessary enrollment. This procedure is recommended, provided all the provisions and 
requirements for the recognition of new units and the maintenance of the strength of the 
old units are observed. (Cir. Let. No. 62, M. B., Oct. 18, 1920.) 

Enlistment of Minors Under 18 Years of Age. The enlistment of a minor under 
18 years of age with or without parental consent is prohibited. Should a minor under the 
age of 18 enhst by falsely representing himself to be over that age, he will render himself 
liable to punishment for fraudulent enlistment. Parental consent is not necessary for the 
enlistment of a minor whose age is 18 years or over, and such consent will not be recognized 
or accepted. (Par. 326, N. G. R., '22.) 

Jurisdiction over Enlisted Minor. A minor enlisted at the age of 19, and the 
parents desired his discharge, which was denied by the organization commander. A writ 
of habeas corpus was issued. The decision is well worth investigating by National Guard 
officers who have to answer before any of the State Courts upon a habeas corpus writ. 

The judgment of the Mississippi Court was to the effect that the writ of habeas corpus 
was denied, and that the enlisted minor was a member of the National Guard organization, 
properly enlisted under the law, and that the organization commander had control. (Cir. 
Let. 26, M. B., March 31, 1922.) 

73 



Exemptions from Militia Duty. The Vice-President of the United States; the 
officers, judicial and executive, of the Government of the United States and of the several 
States and Territories; persons in the miUtary or naval service of the United States; cus- 
tomhouse clerks; persons employed by the United States in the transmission of the mail; 
artificers and workmen employed in the armories, arsenals, and navy yards of the United 
States; pilots; mariners actually employed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant 
within the United States, shall be exempt from militia duty without regard to age, and all 
persons who because of religious belief shall claim exemption from military service, if the 
conscientious holding of such belief by such person shall be established under such regula- 
tions as the President shall prescribe, shall be exempted from militia service in a combatant 
capacity; but no person so exempted shall be exempt from militia service in any capacity 
that the President shall declare to be noncombatant. (Sec. 59, N. D. A.) 

Enlistment Period. Original enlistments in the National Guard shall be for a period 
of three years and subsequent enlistments for periods of one year each: Provided, That 
persons who have served in the Army for not less than six months, and have been honorably 
discharged therefrom, may, within two years after the passage of this Act, enlist in the 
National Guard for a period of one year and reenlist for like periods. (Sec. 69, N. D. A.) 

The enlistment in the National Guard for periods of one and three years carries with 
it no obligation to serve in the National Guard Reserve. (Par. 317 {d) N. G. R., '22.) 

Physical Examination. Applicants for enlistment will be sent by the authori?ed 
recruiting officer to the examining surgeon designated for the organization for which en- 
listment is desired. The surgeon will make a careful and thorough examination and will 
state whether he is satisfied that the applicant is within the required age limits and con- 
forms in every respect to the requirements for enlistment in the National Guard. If, in 
the opinion of the examining surgeon, the applicant is disqualified in any particular, he will 
be rejected by the recruiting officer. If the applicant is found physically qualified and 
recommended for enhstment by the surgeon, the recruiting officer will determine whether 
the applicant fulfills all other requirements for enlistment, and if so he may be enlisted. 
(Par. 340, N. G. R., '22.) 

The standards of physical examination for enlistment in the National Guard are those 
fixed for the Regular Army with such exceptions and modifications as may be announced 
from time to time by the MiHtia Bureau. (Par. 338, N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — The Standards of physical examination for the Regular Army are contained 
in Army Regulations 40-105, June 20, 1921, of which the following is an extract: 

GENERAL EXAMINATION, INCLUDING HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AND 
CHEST MEASUREMENT 

23. Facts determined by inspection. Examination will be conducted with the 
apphcant entirely nude. A thorough general inspection of the entire body will be made, 
noting the proportion and symmetry of the various parts of the body, the chest develop- 
ment, the condition and tone of the muscles, the general nutrition, the character of the 
skin, the presence of any deformities or signs of immaturity. This examination frequently 
determines the fact of the applicant's unfitness for military service, it may show him to be 
undersized, underweight, undeveloped, pale and scrawny, poorly nourished, with thin 
flabby muscles, or manifestly lacking in stamina and resistance to disease. 

24. Evidences of maturity. Physical evidence of maturity may be summed up as 
follows: 

a. The wisdom teeth are sometimes but not always cut. 

h. There should be some beard upon the face, hair under the arms, and a full growth 
of hair around the genitals extending upward on the abdomen. 

c. The skin of the scrotum has lost its soft texture, smooth surface and pinkish hue, 
and is assuming a wrinkled surface with a darker tint. 

74 



25. Directions for taking height. Use a board at least 2 inches wide by 80 inches 
long placed vertically and carefully graduated to one-quarter inch. The applicant will be 
placed against the measuring board with his feet together, the weight being thrown on the 
heels and not on the toes nor on the outside of the feet. He must be made to stand erect 
without rigidity, and with the heels, calves, buttocks, and shoulders touching the board, 
the chin being depressed sufficiently to bring the head into a natural upright position. 
Obtain the height by placing horizontally, in firm contact with the top of the head and 
against the measuring board, an accurately squared board, which should preferably be 
attached permanently to the measuring board. The height will be recorded in inches and 
parts of an inch to the quarter. 

Where a measuring rod is arranged on the scales this may be used. 

26. Weight. The appHcant will be weighed on a standard set of scales which are 
known to be correct. The weight will be recorded in pounds (fractions of pounds will not 
be recorded). 

27. Directions for taking chest measurements. The applicant will be made 
to stand erect with his heels together and arms hanging loosely at the sides. The measur- 
ing tape will be carefully adjusted around the chest, with the upper edge of the tape just 
below the lower angles of the shoulder blades behind and the nipples in front. The tape 
should be approximately horizontal. The applicant will then be directed to take several 
deep breaths, follov/ed by complete exhalation, in order to verify the maximum measure- 
ments. Care must be taken not to displace the tape and to avoid muscular contortions 
which frequently cause a greater inspiratory measurement than the actual lung capacity 
warrants. Great patience and care are often necessary to obtain correct results in these 
measurements, as many men do not know how to expand the chest correctly and must be 
taught the proper method. The chest measurement at inspiration and expiration will be 
recorded in inches and fractions of an inch to quarters. The mobility is the difference 
between the measurements recorded at inspiration and expiration. 

28. Standards of height, weight, and chest measurement. 



A. 
Standard accepted measurements. 


B. 

The following variations from the standard 
shown in column A are permissible when 
the applicant is active, has firm muscles,

29. Exercises. The applicant will be put through a series of movements similar to 
those described below, which will bring into action the various joints and muscles of 

75 



the body. This purpose is best accomplished by requiring the applicant to follow the 
movements as made by the examiner or an assistant. 

a. The elbows should be brought firmly to the sides of the body and the forearms 
extended to the front, palms of the hands uppermost, extend and flex each finger separately, 
bring the tips of the thumbs to the base of the little fingers, close the hands, with the thumbs 
covering the fingers, extend and flex the hands on the wrists, rotate the hands so that the 
finger nails will first be up and then down, move the hands from side to side. Extend the 
arms and forearms fully to the front and rotate them at the shoulders, flex the forearms 
on the arms sharply, striking the shoulders with the fists. Extend the arms at right angles 
with the body, place the thumbs on the points of the shoulders, raise and lower the arms 
bringing them sharply to the sides at each motion. Let the arms hang loosely by the sides 
swing the right arm in a circle rapidly from the shoulder, first to the front and then to the 
rear, swing the left arm in the same manner. Extend the arms fully to the front, keeping 
the palms of the hands together and the thumbs up, carry the arms quickly back as far as 
possible, keeping the thumbs up, and at the same time raise the body on the toes. Extend 
the arms above the head, locking the thumbs, and bend over to touch the ground with the 
hands, keeping the knees straight. 

b. Extend one leg, lifting the heel from the floor, and move all the toes freely, move 
the foot up and down and from side to side, bending the ankle joint, the knee being kept 
rigid, bend the knee freely, kick forcibly backward and forward, throw the leg out to the 
side as far as possible, keeping the body squarely to the front, repeat all these movements 
with the other foot and leg, strike the breast first with one knee and then with the other, 
stand upon the toes of both feet, squat sharply Several times, kneel upon both knees at the 
same time: if the man comes down on one knee after the other there is reason to suspect 
infirmity). 

c. Take the position to "fire kneeling", stand erect, present the back to the examiner* 
and then hold up to view the sole of each foot, leap directly up, striking the buttocks with 
both heels at the same time, hop the length of the room on the ball of first one foot then the 
other, make a standing jump as far as possible and repeat it several times. Run the length 
of the room several times. 

30. Results of exercises. While the exercises prescribed may cause some breath- 

lessness and accelerated throbbing of the blood vessels, they should not cause manifest 
exhaustion or great distress in a healthy man. Lack of abihty to perform any of these 
exercises indicates some defect or deformity that should be investigated further. 

31. Standards for applicants for enlistment, a. No applicant will be accepted 
who is less than 64 inches in height or weighs less than 120 pounds, or has a chest mobihty 
of less than 2 inches. 

h. In general, an apphcant will not be accepted whose weight and chest measurement 
are not proportionate to his height, as prescribed in column A of table in paragraph 28. 
In special cases when the applicant is active, has firm muscles, and is evidently vigorous 
and healthy, variations to the extent noted in column B of table in paragraph 28 may be 
allowed. No applicant will be accepted who falls below the requirements laid down in 
colunm B of the table. 

c. Variations in weight above the standard are not disqualifying unless sufficient to 
constitute such well-marked obesity as to interfere permanently with normal physical 
activity. No apphcant will be accepted for Cavalry service whose weight is in excess of 
180 pounds. 

d. The following conditions are causes for rejection: 

(1) Any deformity which is repulsive or which prevents the proper functioning 

of any part to a degree interfering with military efficiency. 

(2) Obesity when so marked as to interfere with marching or military duties. 

(3) A height of more than 78 inches. 

76 



(4) Deficient muscular development. 

(5) Deficient nutrition. 

(6) All acute communicable diseases. 

(7) All diseases which are of long duration or are usually progressive. Among 

these may be mentioned: 
(a) Chronic malaria and malarial cachexia. 
(6) Severe uncinariasis. 

(c) Tuberculosis, of whatever degree and whether general or localized. 

(d) Leprosy and actinomycosis. 

(e) Pellagra, scurvy, and beriberi. 

(/) Recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever, chronic articular rheumatism, and 

chronic arthritis. 
ig) Cellulitis and osteomyelitis. 
(h) Malignant disease of all kinds in any location. 
(i) Hemophilia and purpura. 
ij) Luekemia of all types. 
(Jc) Pernicious anemia. 

(/) Secondary anemia, unless mild and due to an easily remediable cause. 
(m) Splenic anemia, 
(n) Filarasis and trypanosomiasis, 
(o) Diabetes melUtus or insipidus, 
(p) Acromegaly, gigantism, myxoedema, cretinism, Addison's disease, and other 

endocrine diseases. 
(q) Chronic metallic poisoning. 

32. Standards for candidates for commission. The same as for appHcants for 
enlistment. 

Form to be Used. The record of physical examination for enlistment will be made 
in duplicate on Form No. 135-1, A. G. O. 

Disposition of Form No. 135-1 A. G. O. The ORIGINAL (accomplished) will be 
filed with the organization records. A convenient place to file it is with its corresponding 
Enlistment Paper in rear of the Service Records in the service record tray of the company 
field desk. The DUPLICATE COPY (accomplished) will be forwarded with the dupH- 
cate copy of the corresponding enhstment paper to the State Adjutant General. 

Vaccination. All applicants for enlistment or reerJistment will be examined by the 
surgeon to ascertain whether vaccination against smallpox and typhoid is required. In all 
cases where there is not positive evidence of successful inoculations the operations for both 
purposes will be performed immediately after the completion of the enlistment. Vaccine for 
both will be supplied by the Surgeon General of the Army. A record of vaccination will be 
made on forms furnished by the War Department (Form 81-1, S. G. O.) and filed with the 
enlistment papers. (Par. 339, N. G. R., '122.) 

Vaccination Important. Commanding Officer of all National Guard organizations 
should be directed to cause an examination to be made of the service records in their com- 
mands and will require that enlisted men who have no record, or incomplete records, of 
vaccinations against typhoid and paratyphoid fevers and smallpox during the current 
enhstment be examined by National Guard medical officers and vaccinated in accordance 
with paragraph 349, National Guard Regulations, 1919, and that the record thereof be 
made upon the service record in the appropriate place. National Guard officers who are 
not properly protected against typhoid and paratyphoid fevers and smallpox should also 
be vaccinated. The attention of all commanding officers of National Guard organizations 
should be directed to the necessity of strict comphance with existing regulations relative 
to vaccination against typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever and smallpox and the making of

the prescribed records in connection therewith. (See Special Regulations No 28, W. D. 
1917, Par. 866, A. R., Pars. 186-193 M. M. D., as changed). 

Attention is directed to the fact that under existing regulations (Paragraph 25, S. R., 
No. 28, W. D., 1917), individuals who establish to the satisfaction of the responsible medical 
officer that they have been completely vaccinated against t3T)hoid and paratyphoid fevers 
within three years, are not required to be again vaccinated against these diseases until after 
the expiration of the three-year period. (Cir. Let. No. 43, M. B., July 24, 1920.; 

Requisition for Virus for Inoculation and Vaccination. Requisition for virus 
(for vaccination against typhoid fever paratyphoid fever and smallpox) should be for- 
warded direct to the Militia Bureau where arrangement will be made with the Surgeon 
General for supply. (Cir. Let. No. 43, M. B., July 24, 1920.) 

Identification Record. For the purpose of identification of soldiers in time of war 
and for the purpose of instruction of medical officers in this work an outline figure and 
finger-print record will be made of each enlisted man by the medical officer making the 
physical examination, on forms prescribed by the War Department. (Form 260, A. G. O.) 

This record when completed will be filed with the soldier's report of physical examina- 
tion on file with the records of the organization to which the man belongs and will be in- 
spected and verified by the instructor of sanitary troops at the time the physical record 
of the soldier is verified. (Pars. 351 and 352, N. G. R., '19.)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINGER PRINTING 

Materials and Appliances. These consist of: — A zinc-faced ink-plate on which 
the ink is to be spread and a composition roller with removable handle for spreading ink. 

A tube of printer's ink. 

Pads of unglazed paper for practice work. 

The above form part of the "Recruiting Outfit," Emergency M. M. D., and may be 
obtained on requisition made in the usual way. 

Benzene for cleaning the plate and roller and the fingers of the subject is necessary. 

Cloths for cleaning the roller and plate, and for wrapping them when not in use. 

Care of the Appliances. The ink plate is easily scratched and dented and the 
roller is soft and easily defaced. Neither is fit for use unless perfectly smooth. They should 
be carefully cleaned with benzene after use and all old ink removed, then wrapped in cloth 
to keep them from damage. The roller is easiest cleaned and cared for if it is taken out of 
the handle. The ink tube should be kept capped to prevent thickening. 

To Prepare the Plate and Roller for use. See that both are absolutely clean. 
Any old ink, dust particles or dirt on either will make good work impossible. 

Distribute the ink on the surface of the plate (rather than on the roller), in thin dots 
about the size of the end of a match stick. Eight or ten such dots are sufficient for the size 
of plate issued with the outfit, and each dot should contain very Httle ink. The tendency 
is to use too much ink. It is impossible to get satisfactory prints if the film is too thick 
and it is better to use too Httle ink at first and add more if it is absolutely necessary, rather 
than to use too much and have to clean part of it off. 

Use the roller to spread the ink on the plate until it forms a uniform and very thin 
layer over both plate and roller. That will take considerable rolling, but if the film is not 
even or if it is too thick the results will not be good. The layer of ink should be so thin 
that when the finger is pressed into it and lifted, it will leave the plate almost clean. 

The roller should be used as often as necessary to redistribute the ink and enough ink 
added in small dots from time to time to keep the film the right thickness. 

If the ink becomes too thick to spread easily it can be thinned on the plate by a Httle 
benzene, but it is very easy to get the ink too thin. 

Handling the Blank Forms. The form must be held firmly while the impressions 
are being made. It should be located on the table so that the finger can be brought into 
the space intended for it without the rest of the hand coming into contact with the form. 
This is done by folding part of the form down at right angles to the edge of the table along 
the lines indicated on it, thus dropping part of the form not being used out of the way. 
The table should be of such height that the hand wiU rest on it when the forearm is bent 
at a right angle with the arm. 

If much work is to be done it is a convenience to make a board large enough to take 
the form and leave room for a clamp by which it can be attached to the table, the board 
having a wooden batten along one side as a guide for the blank and a clamp to hold the 
blank in place against the guide. Such arrangement saves time in locating the blank and 
prevents sHpping, which if it occurs wiU ruin the print. 

Preparation of the Finger for Printing. Ordinarily none is needed. If the 
<5rooves on the finger-tip are fiUed with dirt, use a little benzene to clean them. But be 
sure that the finger is dry before making prints from it, or the benzene on it wiU make the 
ink too thin and the print wiU be blurred. 

Directions to the Subject. The subject is inclined to help the operator in making 
the print by using pressure and trying to roU the finger in inking and printing. He should 
be, told that all work is to be done by the operator and that he must not make an attempt 
to assist.

Kinds of Impressions . These are two kinds ; rolled and plain. The rolled impression 
is the most important and is the impression used recording the individual fingers. The 
plain impression is used for the print of all the fingers made simultaneously. 

To make the Roiled Impression. Stand facing the blank, with the ink-plate to 
the right of it, take the left forearm of the subject between your right elbow and your body, 
to control it. Grasp the finger to be printed with the forefinger and thumb of both your 
hands and tuck the fingers of the subject's hand which you are not going to use down into 
his palm out of the way. 

Rotate the finger as far as it will comfortably go to the subject's left (through about 
45 degrees), and lay it in this position on the plate so that the whole terminal joint will 
come on the inked surface. Then rotate the finger to the subject's right through about 
ninety degrees or as far as it will comfortably go to his right. Do not use much pressure 
and take care not to slide the finger on the plate. Do not let the subject use any pressure 
himself or make any attempt to rotate the finger. 

Lift the finger off the plate, turn it through about ninety degrees to the subject's left 
again, lay it down in this position in the space intended for it on the form, with the whole 
length of the terminal joint inside the space and at right angles to the horizontal line bound- 
ing the space and rotate it through ninety degrees to the subject's right, using even pres- 
sure and taking care not to slip it. 

Then lift the finger off the form without rotating it back to the left in the slightest 
degree and without sliding it. 

Proceed in this way with the fingers of both hands, and v/ith the right index finger in 
the separate space provided for it on the briefing fold of the form. 

To make the Plain Impression. Bring the four fingers of the subject side by side 
and lay their tips on the plate, then press each terminal joint down lightly to ink it, lift the 
hand by the wrist, transfer it to the proper place on the form, lay the terminal joints down 
on the paper without shding them and press each joint down gently to make the print. 
Then lift the hand straight up without pulling or shding. 

The subject must not try to locate his fingers himself or use any pressure. 

Successful Prints. Success in making impressions depends (1), on the inking of the 
finger, if too much or too little ink is used or if the ink is dirty or unevenly distributed on 
the plate, the print will be worthless; (2), on the care with v^hich the finger is rolled on the 
form. If it is slipped or pulled, if the pressure is not even, if the whole width of the pull 
of the finger is not printed, i.e., if the finger is not rolled enough, or if the print does not 
extend down to the crease between the terminal and the second phalanx the print is not 
satisfactory. 

A successful print is almost as clear as an engraving and need not necessarily be very 
black. It should show each loop and whorl so clearly that they can be easily recognized 
and the ridges and furrows so distinctly that they can be counted without difficulty. If 
any of the features of the print are blurred and unrecognizable, or if in any part of it the 
lines and furrows cannot be counted, the print is valueless, for it cannot be classified for 
filing. The impressions dry rapidly but care should be taken not to allow them to be 
rubbed or handled for some ten minutes after they have been made. (Cir. Let. No. 24, 
M. B., March 25, 1921.) 

Oath of Enlistment. Men enlisting in the National Guard of the several States, 
Territories, and the District of Columbia shall sign an enhstment contract and subscribe 
to the following oath of enlistment: "I do hereby acknowledge to have voluntarily enlisted 

this day of— , 19 — as a soldier in the National Guard of the United States 

and of the State of , for the period of three (or one) year , under the conditions

nor of the State of , and of the officers appointed over me according to law and the 

rules and Articles of War." (Sec. 70, N. D. A.) 

Authority to Administer Oath. If such an officer (one appointed by the Governor 
of the State, but not yet Federally recognized), is authorized to administer an oath by 
State statutes, then such an officer could legally administer the (dual) oath (of enlistment) 
to the enlisted man. (Cir. Let. No. 27, M. B., April 30, 1920.) (Par. 157, id) N. G. R.) 

Date of Enlistment. The date on which the enlistment of any man is actually com- 
pleted by administering the oath is the date of that enlistment, and must invariably be 
shown on the enlisted paper above the signature of the officer who administered the oath 
and thereby enlisted the man. (Par. 329, N. G. R., '19.) 

Enlistment Records. The following enlistment records will be prepared in the case 
of each soldier enlisted or reenlisted for the National Guard: 

Enlistment paper, Form 22-1, A. G. O. (in duplicate). 

Report of physical examination, Form 135-1, A. G. O. (in duplicate). 

Identification record. Form 260, A. G. O. (single copy). 

The originals of these records will be filed with the records of the organization to which 
the soldier is assigned, and the duplicates forwarded to the adjutant general of the State. 
(Par. 333, N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — The Enhstment Paper (Form 22-1, A. G. O.,) is made out in DUPLICATE. 
The ORIGINAL is retained and filed with the company records. A convenient place to 
file it is in rear of all Service Records in the service record tray of the company field desk. 
The DUPLICATE COPY is forwarded to the State Adjutant General with the duplicate 
copy of its corresponding record of physical examination. 

Reading Articles of War. Articles 1, 2, and 29, 54 to 96, inclusive, and 104 to 109, 
inclusive, of the Articles of War shall be read and explained to every soldier at the time of his 
enlistment, or within six days thereafter. (Par. 243, N, G. R., '19.) 

See Articles of War, pages 113 to 122, this volume.

B. TRANSFERS OF ENLISTED MEN 

On Change of Residence. When a soldier of the National Guard changes his resi- 
dence within a State or Territory, he shall be transferred to a unit of the National Guard 
located at the place of his new residence. When there is no organization of the National 
Guard located at his new residence the soldier shall be discharged. (Par. 345, N. G. R. '22.) 

On Disbanding of Organizations. When authority is given to disband an organi- 
zation which has been Federally recognized or when Federal recognition is withdrawn, 
enlisted men of the organization should be discharged or transferred to a recognized organi- 
zation. (Par. 112, N. G. R., '22.) 

Maintenance Strength of Units. No transfer of enlisted men from a Federally 
recognized unit is authorized if such transfer reduces the unit below 65 or below the mini- 
mum authorized by the tables in case such minimum is below 65 enlisted men. (Cir. Let 
No 62, M. B., Oct. 18, 1920.) 

Transfer of Enlisted Men to form New Units. The Adjutant General of a State 
may transfer enlisted men from one or more Federally recognized units to a new unit at any 
time prior to the Federal inspection of the new unit, provided the strength of any Federally 
recognized units from which the men are transferred are not reduced below 65 men or below 
the minimum authorized. The new organization may be recognized if composed of such 
transferred men, provided it is formed throughout of men transferred from recognized units. 
(Cir. Let. No 62, M. B., Oct. 18, 1920.) 

Between Organizations of Same State when called into Service of United 
States. Transfers of enlisted men between organizations of the National Guard of the 
same State, Territory, or District of Columbia, when called into the service of the United 
States, will he made only when manifestly for the best interests of the service, and will be effected 
as prescribed in Army Regulations. (Par. 347, b, N. G. R., '22.) 

Between Organizations in Service of United States and those not in Service 
of United States and Vice Versa. There is no authority under existing law for the trans- 
fer of enlisted men from an organization of the National Guard in the service of the United 
States to an organization of the National Guard not in the service of the United States, or 
vice versa. (Par. 346 a, N. G. R., '22.)

C. DISCHARGE OF ENLISTED MEN 

(1) Expiration of term of Service. 

Procedure when Reenlistment is not Recommended. Where, upon expiration 
of term of service, the company or detachment commander is of the opinion that the sol- 
dier's reenlistment should not be recommended, he shall, if practicable, so notify the soldier 
at least 30 days prior to discharge and shall at the same time notify the regimental com- 
mander, if there be one, or, if there be none, the Adjutant General of the State, Territory 
or the District of Columbia, who will in every such case direct the battalion commander or 
officer of equivalent rank and duties of any arm, department, or corps to determine whether 
the soldier's reenlistment should or should not be recommended, and the kind of discharge 
that should be given him. The soldier will in every case be given an opportunity to be 
heard. The findings of this officer, when approved by the directing authority, will be final. 
The written report of the officer under this paragraph, showing all facts pertinent to the 
inquiry, will be forwarded by the directing authority directly to the adjutant general of the 
State. (Par. 350, N. G. R., '22.) 

(2) For Other Reasons, — When and by Whom Authorized 

In time of peace an enlisted man who has been extended Federal recognition as a mem- 
ber of the National Guard will not be discharged before the expiration of his period of en- 
listment except — 

(a) By order of the President or the Secretary of War. 

(6) By order of the governor of a State, Territory, or the commanding general of the 
District of Columbia Militia on account of disability; on account of a sentence of imprison- 
ment by a civil court, whether suspended or not; on account of a bona fide permanent 
change of residence to another State or foreign country, in accordance with the provisions 
of paragraph 345; on account of the action provided for in paragraph 354 of these regula- 
tions; in compliance with an order of one of the United States courts, or a justice or a 
judge thereof; on a writ of habeas corpus; and for the purpose of enlisting in the Regular 
Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, on sentence of a general court-martial. (Par. 348, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

For Physical Disability. When an enlisted man is permanently unfitted for mili- 
tary service because of wounds or disease, he should, if practicable, be discharged on cer- 
tificate of disability before the expiration of the term of service in which the disability was 
incurred. Certificates of disability for discharge will not be made in duplicate. (Par. 
357, N. G. R., '22.) 

Certificates of disability will be prepared by the soldier's company commander and sent 
by him to the examining surgeon of the organization to which the soldier belongs. They will 
be completed by the surgeon and transmitted to the regimental commander, who will 
forward them to the adjutant general of the State, Territory, or the District of Columbia. 
If approved by the governor of the State or Territory, or the commanding general. District 
of Columbia Militia, he will order the discharge. (Par. 358, N. G. R., '22.) 

On Account of Permanent Change of Residence. In order to entitle a soldier to 
discharge because of a change of residence, satisfactory evidence must be presented showing 
that the change to another State, Territory, or the District of Columbia is bona fide and 
of a permanent character; that the employment or occupation in which the soldier engages 
at his new residence is such as to support the claim of a change of residence; and that the 
distance to which he has removed from his former residence will prevent him from attending 
the prescribed military duties with the organization to which he belongs. (Par. 360, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

When an enlisted man makes a permanent change of residence to a State other than 
that in which he enlisted, he will be discharged under the conditions prescribed in paragraph 
371. If within three months after arrival in the State of his new residence he elects to en- 
hst in the National Guard therein he shall, in time of peace, be given credit^upon such en-

listment for the time served under the enlistment from which discharged in the State of his 
former residence. The new enlistment will be for the full period, but a note will be made by 
the recruiting officer on the enlistment paper as follows: 

"Entitled to be discharged, unless in time of war, years, months, days, 

in advance of expiration of period for which enlisted on account of credit allowed for service 
in the National Guard in the State of ." 

In time of peace this notation will operate to advance the date of his final discharge, 
and shorten the period of his service by the length he served in his last enlistment in the 
State from which he changed residence. (Par. 361, N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlisted Man Making Temporary Change of Residence not to be Discharged. 

When an enlisted man makes a temporary change of residence to another State which he 
anticipates will not exceed six months in duration, his absence from his organization should 
be accounted for by the issue of a furlough. When an enlisted man makes a change of 
residence to another State which he anticipates will exceed six months in duration he will be 
discharged. (Par. 359, N. G. R., '22.) 

Application for discharge on account of business reasons must originate with the 
organization commanders. The latter may combine two or more applications, forwarding 
them as inclosures to his request for the discharge of the individuals concerned. 

A succinct statement of the pertinent facts will be included in the application. An 
officer will investigate each case, and will make recommendation as to the action to be taken, 
based upon the result of his investigation. The communication should show affirmatively 
either that each case has or has not been fully investigated by an officer. (Cir. Let. No. 65, 
M. B., Sept. 23, 1921.) 

On Account of Being Inapt. When the National Guard is not in the Federal service 
and an enlisted man is found to be inapt, or does not possess the required degree of adapta- 
bility for the military service, or gives evidence of habits or traits of character which serve 
to render his retention in the service undesirable, or is disqualified for service, physically or 
in character, through his ov^^n misconduct, his company or detachment commander will 
report the facts to the regimental or separate battalion commander, or commanding officer 
of a unit equivalent to a separate battalion, who will convene a board of three officers to 
determine whether or not the soldier should be discharged prior to the expiration of his term 
of enlistment. The company or detachment commander is not competent to convene a 
board for this purpose. If discharge be recommended, the board will also recommend the 
character to be given on the discharge, and the proceedings of the board, when approved by 
the convening authority, will be forwarded to the adjutant general of the State, Territory, 
or the District of Columbia, for final action by the governor of the State or Territory or the 
Commanding General, District of Columbia Militia. If the findings of the board are ap- 
proved, the soldier will be discharged and the proceedings will be filed by the adjutant 
general of the State or the District of Columbia. 

The discharge to be given to soldiers under the provisions of this paragraph will in all 
cases be that prescribed by section (c) of paragraph 351. (Par. 354, N. G. R., '22.) (Form 
526-1, A. G. O.) 

When the findings of the board indicate disqualification through physical disability, 
the proceedings will be accompanied by certificate of disabiUty. (Par. 366, N. G. R., '19.) 

Discharge to Enlist in Regular Army. Enlisted men of the National Guard shall 
not be enlisted in the Regular Army, unless a discharge in writing from the National Guard 
authorities of a State, Territory or the District of Columbia has been duly prepared. (Par. 
376, N. G. R., '19.) 

Where an enlisted man of the National Guard applies for enlistment in the Regular 
Army, and the State authorities authorize his discharge from the National Guard for this 
purpose, the adjutant general of the State, Territory or District of Columbia, shall send the 
discharge certificates to the recruiting officer to whom the apphcant has appHed for enlist- 

93 



ment in the Regular Army. If the applicant is accepted for the Regular Army, the recruit- 
ing officer will forward the discharge by mail to the recruit depot or point where the enHst- 
ment of the applicant is accompHshed. In case the apphcant is not accepted for enlistment 
or fails to present himself for actual enlistment after acceptance, the officer concerned who 
has in his possession the discharge certificate, when the case is finally settled will return the 
discharge certificate to the adjutant general of the State, Territory, or the District of 
Columbia, notifying him that the apphcant was not enhsted in the Regular Army, and has 
not been discharged from the National Guard. (Par, 365, N. G. R., '22.) 

When the apphcant is actually enhsted in the United States Army, the enlisting officer 
will personally hand him his discharge from the National Guard of the State, and notify 
the adjutant general of the State, Territory, or District of Columbia, that he has been 
discharged and enhsted in the Regular Army. Recruiting officers should correspond direct 
with the adjutants general of States, Territory of Hawaii and District of Columbia, on this 
subject. (Par. 366, N. G. R., '22.) 

Discharge While Serving Sentence of Court-Mar tial. When a soldier is sen- 
tenced by court-martial to confinement without dishonorable discharge for a period ex- 
tending beyond the expiration of his term of enhstment, he will be discharged on the date 
of the expiration of the term of enlistment, but will be held to serve out his sentence. If an 
honorable discharge is given to the soldier he can be reenhsted before the expiration of the 
period of his confinement only upon the remission by competent military authority of the 
unexecuted portion of his sentence. When, however, a soldier's term of enhstment expires 
while he is awaiting trial or sentence, he will be discharged on the date of the receipt of an 
order publishing the case or otherwise disposing of it, and the discharge certificate will be 
dehvered to the man on his release from confinement, and not until then. On the date of 
the discharge personal notice thereof will be given to the soldier by an officer, and the fact 
that such notice was given will be indorsed upon the discharge certificate. (Par. 355, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

On Account of Disbanding Organization. When authority is given to disband an 
organization which has been Federally recognized or when Federal recognition is withdrawn, 
enlisted men of the organization should be discharged or transferred to a recognized 
organization. (Par. 112, N. G. R., '.22) 

Date When Discharge Takes Effect. The discharge of a soldier takes effect on the 
date of notice to him of such discharge, either actual, by dehvery of the discharge certificate; 
or constructive, as where such delivery cannot be made owing to his absence for his own 
convenience or through his own fault, in which case the receipt at the soldier's proper station 
of the order directing his discharge will be deemed sufficient notice. In the latter case the 
date of the receipt of the order and the reason why actual notice thereof was not given to 
the soldier will be entered upon the muster roll which shows the separation of the soldier 
from the service, and will be indorsed upon the discharge certificate should one have been 
prepared. If a soldier is absent in desertion when the order for his discharge is received, 
the discharge will not be executed, but the soldier will be dropped from the rolls as a de- 
serter. The dishonorable discharge of a soldier against whom general court-martial charges 
are pending will be deferred until the charges are finally disposed of by the official exercising 
general court-martial jurisdiction. (Par. 352, N. G. R., '22.) 

Certificate of Discharge, By Whom Provided, How Kept, Kinds and use of. 

Blank forms for discharge will be provided by the War Department and will be retained under 
lock in the personal custody of company or detachment commanders. Discharge certificates v/ill 
be used in the discharge of enlisted men, and for no other purpose, and will be of three classes: 
For honorable discharge, for discharge, and for dishonorable discharge. They will be used 
as follows: 

{a) The blank for honorable discharge, when the soldier's conduct has been such as to 
warrant his reenlistment and his^^service has been honest and faithful. (Form 525-1, 
A. G. O.) " 

94 



(6) The blank for dishonorable discharge, for dishonorable discharge by sentence of a 
court-martial. (Form 527-1, A. G. O.) 

(c) The blank for discharge, when a soldier is discharged except as specified above 
under sections (a) and (6). (Form 526-1, A. G. O.) (Par. 351, N. G. R.,'22.) 

To Whom Issued and by Whom Signed. No man, lawfully enUsted in the Na- 
tional Guard service, shall be discharged from said service without a certificate of dis- 
charge, signed by a field officer of the regiment or other organization to which the en- 
Usted man belongs or by the commanding officer when no such field officer is present, 
except when drafted under the provisions of Section III, Act of June 3, 1916. (Par. 349. 

N. G. R. '22.) 

The ''certificate of discharge" to he signed by a field officer of the regiment or other or- 
ganization, or by the commanding officer when no such field officer is present, is printed on 
the face of the form. The "enlistment record" on the back of the form will be signed by the 
company or detachment commander. (Spec. Regs. 57.) 

Statement of Service and Character. The statement of service and the character 
given on a discharge will be certified by the company or detachment commander, and great 
care will be taken that no injustice is done the soldier . . . (Par. 350, N. G. R., '22.) 

When an enlisted man is discharged from the service the "character" given him on 
discharge certificate will be noted on his service record. (Par. 51, C. of O.) 

The "character" given on a discharge certificate is discretionary with the company or 
other immediate commander of the soldier, except where otherwise directed by sentence of 
a general court-martial, or by orders from the War Department; and the defacing of a 
discharge certificate by writing thereon anything to the discredit of the soldier's character, 
after the same has been given by his company or other immediate commander, is prohibited. 
(Par. 49, C. of O.) 

The "character" given will be entered on the discharge certificate by the company 
commander. (Spec. Regs. 57.) 

Reason for Discharge to be Stated on Certificate. Whenever an enhsted man is 
discharged from the Army prior to the expiration of his term of service, the actual cause of 
discharge and the number, date, and source of the order or description of authority therefor will 
be fully stated on the discharge certificate ... as the reason for discharge, e. g., "De- 
pendent mother; par. 4, SO 146, E Dept., 1918." (Par. 142, A. R.) 

When a soldier is discharged on account of misconduct or unfitness for service, physical 
or in character, due to his own misconduct, the statement to that effect set forth in the order 
directing his discharge will be noted on the discharge certificate as the reason for discharge, 
e. g., "Having become physically unfitted for the service due to his own misconduct; par. 
13, SO 49, E Dept., 1918." 

When a soldier is discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability, a statement to that 
effect will be made on the discharge certificate as the reason for discharge, but the diagnosis 
as given in the certificate of disability will not be quoted; e. g., "SCD, 4th Ind. HQ E Dept., 
May 15, 1918." 

When discharge is by reason of expiration of term of service, that fact will be stated, 
written thus, "Expiration of service." (Spec. Regs. 57.) 

Note. — Discharge certificates are not made in DupUcate. 

Preparation of Discharge Certificates. The preparation of discharge certificates 
in manuscript is prohibited when the proper printed forms therefor are available. (Par. 
1572, A. R.) 

Under no circumstances will data on discharge certificate be filled in on a typewriting 
machine, nor by rubber stamp. All entries must be neatly and legibly made in longhand. The 
certificate of discharge is the official record of service furnished the discharged man and as 
such must be exact, not readily changed, and presentable. (Par. 194, C. of O.)

D. DESERTION 

Procedure in case of. When an enlisted man of the National Guard, not in Federal 
service, absents himself without leave, and there is reason to believe that he does not intend to 
return^ he may be dropped from the rolls as a deserter, but only with the express authority of 
the governor, in the District of Columbia, of the commanding general. No special period 
of time is prescribed before such action is taken, but each case will be decided according to cir- 
cumstances. A soldier dropped as a deserter may, on application made by him in which he 
admits his desertion, be restored to duty by the governor of a State or Territory or, in the Dis- 
trict of Columbia, by the commanding general, and the same authority may set aside the 
charge of desertion as having been erroneously made. (Par, 353, N. G. R., '22.) 

Procedure When Deserter is Restored to Duty. All individual records pertaining 
to the man which were forwarded to the State Adjutant General when the man was dropped 
as a deserter, should be returned to the company. Appropriate remarks should be made 
therein and then they should be filed in their proper places in the company records. 

The Extract from Service Record which was made out a t the time the man was dropped 
as a deserter should be used to record accumulated data until the Service Record is returned. 
When the Service record is received back this data will be transcribed to the Service Record 
and the Extract from Service Record will be destroyed. 

proper entry and remarks will be made on the following Company records: 

Morning Report (Form 332, A. G. O.) 

Pay Rolls and Record of Attendance at Drill (Form 367, 367a, and 367b, W. D.). 

Company Strength Return (Form 30, A. G. O.). 

Duty Roster (Form 342, A. G. 0.). 

Alarm List. 

List of Enlistment Men Arranged in Order of Expiration of Service. 



E. FURLOUGH OF ENLISTED MEN 

When an enhsted man makes a temporary change of residence to another state which 
he anticipates will not exceed six months in duration, his absence from his organization 
should be accounted for by the issue of a furlough. . . (Par. 359, N. G. R., '22.) 

Procedure in Case of Furlough. (1) Request for furlough is made by the man 
through miUtary channels. . 'X

G. NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND SPECIALISTS 

Warrant Officers in National Guard. In time of peace warrant officers in the 
National Guard will be limited to band leaders. (Par. 1007, N. G. R., '22) 

Band Leaders Paid as Master Sergeants. Until Congress shall have provided 
funds for payment of warrant officers, National Guard — and fixed the rate of pay for 
armory drill. Band Leaders National Guard, will be appointed as Master Sergeants (Class 
1, enlisted men) and will be paid accordingly for both encampment service a,nd armory 
drills. (Cir. Let. No. 4, M. B., Jan. 20, 1921.) 

Appointment of Band Leaders. Band leaders (warrant officers) of National Guard 
regiments, will be appointed on recommendation of the regimental commanders, by the 
Governors of the respective states and territories where the corresponding regimental 
headquarters is included in the official allocation of troops. (Par. 1007, N. G. R., '22.) 

Federal Recognition of Band Leaders. In order to determine ehgibihty for the 
extension of federal recognition in the case of band leaders (warrant officers) apphcation for 
such recognition will be forwarded by the respective Adjutants General (or the Commanding 
General, D. C, Militia) to the Mihtia Bureau, Wd£ Department, accompanied by the 
following papers: 

(a) Oath of office, on Form 337-1, A. G. O. 
(6) Certificate of physical examination. Form 95, M. B. 

(c) Personal record, showing all mihtary service, professional experience, and 
other facts tending to support the claim of the candidate as competent to 
fill the position of band leader in the military service, on Form 108, M. B.; 
this Form, should be accompanied by at least two letters, preferably from 
military or civil officers of the State or of the United States, vouching for 
the moral and professional qualifications of the applicant for Federal recog- 
nition as band leader. (Par. 1008, N. G. R., '22.) 
The professional quahfications of candidates for appointment will be determined by the 
appointing power. (Par. 1009, N. G. R., '22.) 

Band leaders should be of such character and age as to be able to enforce discipline 
in their instructional work. Unless especially authorized by the Militia Bureau for reasons 
duly presented and considered, no band leader will be federally recognized who is less than 
twenty-five or more than fifty years of age at time of original appointment. (Par. 1010, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Grades and Specialist Ratings. The National Defense Act provides that the Army 
enlisted personnel shall be arranged in seven GRADES. Only that personnel in which the 
National Guard is concerned is mentioned. 

Grade I — Master Sergeants. Includes Master Engineers, Senior Grade (Engineers); 
Master Signal Electricians; Master Electricians; Regimental Sergeants Major; Sergeants 
Major, Senior Grade; Regimental Supply Sergeants; Engineers (C. A. C); Master Gun- 
ners (50%). See Grade III.

102 



Grade V — Corporals. Includes Band Corporals; Corporals, Bugler; Corporals. 
Grade VI — Privates, First Class. 
Grade VII — Privates. 

In addition to the above grading for noncommissioned officers and privates there are 
provided six specialist CLASSES. (First to sixth classes.) Men for these ratings must he 
selected from either the Privates or Privates First Class, i. e. the sixth and seventh grades. 

The law provides that the number of noncommissioned officers and privates, first class, 
in the various grades shall not exceed the percentages indicated below. These percentages 
are to be applied to the "total authorized numbers of enlisted men." 

1st Grade — Master Sergeants 0.6 percent 

2nd Grade — Technical Sergeants & 1st Sergeants .1.8 per cent 

. 3rd Grade — Staff Sergeants 2.0 per cent 

4th Grade — Sergeants 9.5 per cent 

5th Grade — Corporals . 9.5 per cent 

6th Grade — Privates 1st Class 25 per cent 

7th Grade — Privates Remainder 

For the Six Specialists Ratings the percentages which under the law cannot be ex- 
ceeded are as follows. These percentages are applicable to the "total authorized number of 
enlisted men in the 6th and 7th Grades," i. e., Privates, First Class, and Privates: 

1st Class — 0.7 per cent 4th Class 4.7 per cent 

2nd Class — 1.4 per cent 5th Class 5.0 per cent 

3rd Class — 1.9 per cent 6th Class 15.2 per cent 

(Cir. Let. 35, M. B., 1920.) 

Number in each Unit. The non-comniissioned officers are classified according to 
grades and specialists according to ratings; these grades and ratings are noted in tables 
and the number specified must not be exceeded. 

Whenever an organization reaches a strength in its active members equal to 80 per 
cent of the prescribed minimum for the Regular Army, that organization can appoint non- 
commissioned officers and give the ratings to all specialists as prescribed in the peace table 
strength for the Regular Army. (Cir. Let. No. 1, M. B., 1921.) 

Temporary reduction in strength of unit. Whenever an organization falls 
temporarily below the required minimum enlisted strength, it will not be necessary to 
demote or disrate the surplus non-commissioned officers and specialists not provided for in 
the tables governilig the composition of the unit at the reduced strength. Such surplus 
non-commissioned officers and speciaHsts will be absorbed by discharges or routine sepa- 
rations, and vacancies thus created will not be filled until the unit has again enrolled the 
required minimum strength. 

Appointment of Noncommissioned Officers. Noncommissioned staff officers 
and company noncommissioned officers of all arms except Medical Department are ap- 
pointed, reduced, and furnished with warrants when the National Guard is not in Federal 
service, as provided for in Army Regulations, except where the constitution or laws of a 
State specifically prescribe otherwise. (Par. 303, N. G. R., '22.) 

Appointment by Governor. Where Army Regulations provide for the appointment 
of noncommissioned officers by the Secretary of War or a chief of bureau, the appointment 
to corresponding positions in the National Guard will be made by the governor of a State 
(Par. 304,N. G. R., '22.) 

Who Makes Appointments. Company noncommissioned officers in grades per- 
taining to the hne of the Army are appointed by regimental or separate battalion command- 
ers upon the recommendation of the company commander; in units not organized into regi" 

103 



ments or separate battalions, by the unit commander with the approval of the next higher 
tactical commander; in division ammunition trains, by the ammunition train commander; 
in division engineer trains by the division engineer officer, and in train headquarters and 
military poUce by the commander of trains. On the recommendation of company com- 
manders, company noncommissioned officers may be temporarily appointed by battahon 
commanders, under the conditions stated in paragraph 256; but in no case will any com- 
pany organization have an excess of noncommissioned officers above the number authorized 
by law. The noncommissioned officers of Coast Artillery Corps companies, upon recom- 
mendation of the company commanders, will be appointed by coast-defense commanders. 
(ChangesA. R., No. 72.) 

Company Appointments. The captain will select the supply sergeant, mess 
sergeant, and stable sergeant from the sergeants of his company, and may return them to 
the grade of sergeant without reference to higher authority. (Par. 273, A. R.) 

Appointment of Specialists. Chief mechanics, cooks, buglers, horseshoers, me- 
chanics, saddlers, wagoners, and privates, first class, are enlisted as privates, and after join- 
ing their organizations are appointed by their respective organization commanders. For 
inefficiency or misconduct they are subject to reduction by the same authority, and in case 
of desertion their appointments are vacated from the date of their unauthorized absence. 
(Par. 278, A. R.) 

Specialists Armory Drill Pay. Additional compensation for the speciaHst rating 
cannot lawfully be included. The statute provides "compensation at the rate of one- 
thirtieth of the initial monthly pay of his grade in the Regular Army." This signifiess the 
monthly base pay of his grade as prescribed by Congress in Section 4-b, which in case of 
privates 1st class is $35.00 and in case of privates is S30.00. (Cir. Let. No. 69, M. B., Nov. 
12, 1920.) 

Reduction of Noncommissioned Officers. A noncommissioned officer may be 
reduced to the ranks by sentence of a court-martial^ or, on the recommendation of the 
company commander, by the order of the commander having final authority to appoint 
such noncommissioned officer, but a noncommissioned officer will not be reduced because of 
absence on account or sickness or injury contracted in the hne of duty. If reduced to the 
ranks by sentence of court-martial at a post not the headquarters of his regiment, the com- 
pany commander will forward a transcript of the order to the regimental commander. The 
transfer of a noncommissioned officer from one organization to another carries with it re- 
duction to the ranks, unless otherwise specified in the order by authority competent to issue 
a new warrant. (A. R.) 

Appointments of Noncommissioned Officers of the Medical Department. No 

person w'll be appointed a sergeant or higher grade in the Medical Department of the 
National Guard unless he shall have passed a satisfactory examination before a board of 
one or more medical officers as to his qualifications for the position, in conformity with such 
rules and regulations as may be prescribed from time to time by the Secretary of War. 
(Par. 305, N. G. R., '22.)

ARTICLE III 
MILITARY DISCIPLINE 

Discipline to conform to that of Regular Army. The discipline (which includes 
training) of the National Guard shall conform to the system which is now or may hereafter 
be prescribed for the Regular Army, and the training shall be carried out by the several 
States, Territories, and the District of Columbia so as to conform to the provisions of this 
Act. (Sec. 91, National Defense Act.) 

Wheji the National Guard is in the service of the United States, it is in all respects subject 
to the Articles of War. In that event the sections named and the provisions of this article 
have no apphcation. (Par. 542, N. G. R., '22.) 

The provisions of this article are intended to explain wherein the composition, juris- 
diction, and procedure of courts-martial in the National Guard differ from those of courts- 
martial in the Regular Army. Except as indicated herein, the Manual for Courts-Martial 
will be strictly followed. (Par. 543, N. G. R., '22.) 

Obedience. All persons in the military service are required to obey strictly and to 
execute promptly the lawful orders of their superiors. (Par. 91, N. G. R., '22.) 

Military authority will be exercised with firmness, kindness, and justice. Punish- 
ments must conform to law and follow offenses as promptly as circumstances will permit. 
(Par. 92, N. G. R., '22.) 

Superiors are forbidden to injure those under their authority by tjTannical or 
capricious conduct or by abusive language. While maintaining discipline and the thorough 
and prompt performance of military duty, all officers, in dealing with enlisted men, will 
bear in mind the absolute necessity of so treating them as to preserve their self-respect. 
Officers will keep in as close touch as possible with the men under their command and will 
strive to build up such relations of confidence and sympathy as will insure the free approach 
of their men to them for counsel and assistance. This relationship may be gained and 
maintained without relaxation of the bonds of discipline and v/ith great benefit to the 
service as a whole. (Par. 93, N. G. R., '22.) 

Courtesy among military men is indispensable to discipline; respect to superiors 
will not be confined to obedience on duty, but will be extended on all occasions. (Par. 94, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Deliberations or discussions among mihtary men conveying praise or censure, or 
any mark of approbation, toward others in the military service, and all publications re- 
lating to private or personal transactions between officers, are prohibited. Efforts to 
influence Congressional legislation affecting the National Guard, or to procure personal 
favor or consideration, should never be made except through regular military channels, the 
adoption of any other method by any officer or enlisted man will be noted in the mihtary 
record of those concerned. (Par. 95,. N. G. R., '22.) 

System of Courts-Martial for National Guard. Except in organizations in the 
service of the United States, courts-martial in the National Guard shall be of three kinds, 
namely, general courts-martial, special courts-martial, and summary courts-martial. 
They shall be constituted hke, and have cognizance of the same subjects, and possess like 
powers, except as to punishments, as similar courts provided for by the laws and regiila- 
tions governing the Army of the United States, and the proceedings of court-martial of the 
National Guard shall follow the forms and modes of procedure prescribed for said similar 
courts. (Sec. 102, N. D. A.,) 

105 



General courts-martial of the National Guard not in the service of the United 
States may be convened by orders of the President, or of the governors of the respective 
States and Territories, or by the commanding general of the National Guard of the District 
of Columbia, and such courts shall have the power to impose fines not exceeding $200; to 
sentence to forfeiture of pay and allowances; to a reprimand; to dismissal or dishonorable 
discharge from the service; to reduction of noncommissioned officers to the ranks; or any 
two or more of such punishments may be combined in the sentences imposed by such courts. 
(Sec. 103, N. D. i^.t 

Special Courts. In the National Guard, not in the service of the United States, the 
commanding officer of each garrison, fort, post, camp, or other place, brigade, regiment, 
detached battalion, or other detached command, may appoint special courts-martial for 
his command; but such special courts-martial may in any case be appointed by superior 
authority when by the latter deemed desirable. Special courts-martial shall have power 
to try any person subject to military law, except a commissioned officer, for any crime or 
offense made punishable by the military laws of the United States, and such special courts- 
martial shall have the same powers of punishment as do general courts-martial, except that 
fines imposed by such courts shall not exceed $100. (Sec. 104, N. D. A.) 

The words "other place" apply to an armory. When an entire regiment is stationed 
in the same city or town, special courts should not, as a rule, be convened by authority 
inferior to the regimental commander. A battalion or other organization is to be regarded 
as "detached" only when its station or armory is separate from that in which the regimental 
headquarters is located. - (Par. 548,. N. G. R., '22.) 

Who is subject to trial. A National Guard court-martial has power to try all 
officers and enhsted men of the National Guard belonging to the State, Territory, or District 
from which its members are appointed, and also officers and enlisted men of the National 
Guard Reserve whenever they are called out for service or are actually engaged in training 
with the active National Guard. (Par. 544, N. G. R., '22.) 

Jurisdiction of National Guard Courts. It is clear, however, from Sections 102 

to 105 of the National Defense Act (39 Stat. 208, 209) that Congress intended thereby to 
provide a complete code for the government and discipline of the National Guard not in 
the Federal service. In doing so Congress enacted, in Section 102, that courts-martial 
in the National Guard should '^have cognizance of the same subjects ... as similar courts 
provided for by the laws and regulations governing the Army of the United States." 

In section 104, referring to one kind of these courts at least, the special courts-martial, 
it is expressly provided that they "Shall have power to try . . . for any crime or offenses 
made punishable by the military laws of the United States. The military laws of the United 
States which enumerate and define such crimes and offenses and provide for their punish- 
ment are the Articles of War. Manifestly all of the courts-martial provided by this Act 
for the National Guard were intended to be given cognizance of violations of the Articles 
of War. 

It is therefore, the opinion of this office that the present practice in the Washington 
National Guard not in the Federal service of preferring charges alleging violations of the 
Articles of War and of trying by courts-martial upon charges so preferred, is in strict ac- 
cordance with the provisions of the National Defense Act. (Cir. Let. No. 20, M. B., April 
17, 1920.) 

Summary Court. In the National Guard, not in the service of the United States, 
the commanding officer of each garrison, fort, post, or other place, regiment or corps, 
detached battalion, company, or other detachment of the National Guard may appoint for 
such place or comma,nd a summary court to consist of one officer, who shall have power to 
administer oaths and to try the enlisted men of such place or command for breaches of 
discipline and violations of law governing such organizations; and said court, when satisfied 
of the guilt of such soldier, may impose fines not exceeding $25 for any single offense; may 

106 



sentence noncommissioned officer to reduction to the ranks; may sentence to forfeiture of 
pay and allowances. The proceedings of such court shall be informal, and the minutes 
thereof shall be the same as prescribed for summary courts of the Army of the United 
States. (Sec. 105, N. D. A.) 

When a company or detachment occupies and uses an armory with other troops, the 
summary court should be appointed by the senior officer present, under the authority 
covered by the words "other place," rather than under the words "company" or "other 
detachment." (Par. 549, N. G. R., '22.) 

When more than one officer present. When more than one officer is present the 
summary court-martial will be appointed from staff officers or available line officers junior 
to the commanding officer. The commanding officer will not in such cases designate him- 
self as the summary court-martial. The senior officer on duty at a recruiting station is a 
"commanding officer" in the sense of the last preceding sentence when there is another 
officer present at the same station, even though the latter may be serving at an auxihary or 
branch station. (Bui. 46, War Dept., Oct. 24, 1914.) (Par. 26, M. C. M., '21.) 

When but one officer present. When but one officer is present with a command he 
shall be the summary court-martial of that command and shall hear and determine cases 
brought before him. (A. W. 10.) In such a case, no order appointing the court will be 
issued but the officer will enter on the record that he is the "only officer present with the 
command." (Par. 27, M. C. M., '21.) 

Jurisdiction of Officers. A Militia officer may exercise command under his state 
commission and assignment, although he is not yet recognized by the Federal Government, 
but in exercising his authority he acts only as a state officer under state authority. The 
fact that some of the troops under him have been recognized as part of the National Guard 
under the National Defense Act does not destroy his authority over them. If, as has just 
been seen, an officer, although not extended Federal recognition, may exercise command 
there is no apparent reason why he could not equally as well function as a summary court 
while his command is not in Federal service. The fact that some elements of the command 
have been extended recognition by the Federal Government does not oust a duly appointed 
sum-mary court of jurisdiction. (Cir. Let. No. 9, Feb. 19, 1920.) 

Eligibility as Members of Courts. All officers of the National Guard belonging to 
the State, Territory, or District concerned, and such officers of the Reserve as are actually 
engaged in service cr training with the active National Guard, are competent to serve as 
members of a court-martial. Officers of the Regular Army, unless holding commissions 
m the National Guard, and officers of another State, Territory, or District, are not eligible 
as members. (Par. 574, N. G. R., '19.) 

Retired officers not eligible. The retired list existing in many States is no part of 
the National Guard within the meaning of the law, and officers whose names are borne on 
such lists are not ehgible to sit as members of National Guard courts-martial. (Par 546 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Compelling Attendance at Trials. In the National Guard, not in the service of 
the United States, presidents of courts-m.artial and summary court officers shall have power 
to issue warrants to arrest accused persons and to bring them before the court for trial 
whenever such persons shall have disobeyed an order in writing from the convening authority 
to appear before such court, a copy of the charge or charges having been dehvered to the 
accused with such order, and to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum and to enforce 
by attachment attendance of witnesses and the production of books and papers, and to 
sentence for a refusal to be sworn or to answer as provided in actions before civil courts. 

All processes and sentences of said courts shall be executed by such civil officers as may 
be prescribed by the laws of the several States and Territories, and in any State where no 
provision shall have been made for such action, and in the Territories and the District of 
Columbia, such processes and sentences shall be executed by a United States marshal or 

107 



his duly appointed deputy, and it shall be the duty of any United States marshal to execute 
all such processes and sentences and make return thereof to the officer issuing or imposing 
the same. (Sec. 108, N. D. A.) 

Arrest before Trial. When an organization is at its armory station, the arrest before 
trial should ordinarily cover the time an officer or enlisted man should be present with his 
organization. It should not extend outside of his mihtary status and duties. An un- 
authorized absence would thus include a breach of arrest. 

When an organization is in camp or otherwise away from its station and armory for 
training or service, the ordinary procedure pertaining to the Regular Army should be 
followed. (Par. 554, N. G. R., '22.) 

Who issues Process. In the National Guard it is not the judge advocate but the 
president of a court-martial or the summary court who has power to issue process to compel 
the attendance of witnesses. AU subpoenas should therefore be signed by him. In these 
matters he possesses (sec. 108) the same power as is "provided in actions before civil courts;" 
to ascertain the territory within which process will run the local law must, therefore, be 
consulted. (Par. 561, N. G. R., '22.) 

Method of Issuing Process. When a subpoena can not conveniently be served by 
an officer or enlisted man of the National Guard, the proper civil authorities should he re- 
quested to effect service. For this purpose the president of the court or the summary court 
should make formal application to the official designated by the law of the State to execute the 
processes of courts-martial. In a Territory or the District of Columbia, or in a State whose 
law makes no provision for such action by any civil officer, then the request should be 
addressed to the United States marshal of the district in which the court is convened. A 
United States marshal is not empowered to execute such process if the State law makes 
provision for it. (Par. 562, N. G. R., '22.) 

When a warrant of attachment is isssued for the arrest of a civilian who willfully neglects 
or refuses, after having been duly subpoenaed, to appear as a witness before a National 
Guard court-martial, a request for its execution should be addressed to the civil authorities 
as provided for service of subpoenas. (Par. 563, N. G. R., '22.) 

Serving Process. When a United States Marshal or one of his deputies is so called 
upon to make an arrest or to serve a process, the caption of the warrant or process. issued 
should show the United States to be the complainant and prosecutor, and not the State or a 
State official. (Cir. Letter No. 4, M. B., Jan. 12, 1922.)

Form of Warrant of Arrest. The following form of warrant of Arrest has been 
approved by the Office of the Judge Advocate General of the Army in cases where State 
laws are lacking, and when it is necessary to invoke the assistance of U. S. civil officers in 
military administration in the National Guard. (Cir. Letter No. 4, M. B., Jan. 12, 1922.)

Expenses of National Guard Courts-Martial. The United States Government 
does not provide for the payment of expenses of courts-martial of the National Guard not 
in the service of the United States. As to the fees, mileage, and expenses of witnesses, the 
payment of reporters and experts and all other expenses, the laws of the State, Territory, 
or District concerned must be consulted. (Par. 566, N. G. R., '22.) 

Reporter for Court. The compensation of a reporter for a National Guard court- 
martial is dependent upon the law of the State, Territory, or District of Columbia con- 
cerned. (Par. 558, N. G. R., '22.) 

Prosecution represents. The judge advocate of a general or special court-martial 
in the National Guard shall prosecute in the name of the United States and of the State, 
Territory, or District of Columbia concerned. (Par. 557, N. G. R., '22,) 

Administration of Oath. The Manual of Courts-Martial, does not confer power 
on persons therein named to administer oaths in National Guard administration. A 
summary court officer is authorized by section 105, to administer oaths for administrative 
purposes; as to others having that power the law of the State must be consulted. (Par. 
560, N. G. R., '22.) 

Authority to Administer Oath. When authority has been extended for an organ- 
ization, officers will be selected or appointed. . . . While these officers will not be ex- 
tended Federal recognition until the organizations to which they belong have been inspected 
and recognized by the War Department, any such officer who, according to State statutes 
is authorized to administer oaths, is eligible to administer oath of office to officers and the 
oath of enlistment. (Par. 157, N. G. R., '22.) 

Oath of Members of Courts-Martial. The judge advocate of a general or special 
court-martial in the National Guard shall administer to the members the following oath 
or affirmation: 

"You, A. B., do swear (or affirm) that you will well and truly try and determine, ac- 
cording to the evidence, the matter now before you, between the United States of America 

and the State of and the person to be tried, and that you will duly 

administer justice, without partiality, favor, or affection, according to the provisions of the 
rules and articles for the government of the National Guard of the United States and of 

the State of , and if any doubt should arise, not explained by said 

articles, then according to your conscience, the best of your understanding and the custom 
of War in like cases; and you do further swear (or affirm) that you will not divulge the 
finding or sentence of the court until they shall be published by the proper authority, 
except to the judge advocate and assistant judge advocate; neither will you disclose or 
discover the vote or opinion of any particular member of the court-martial, unless required 
to give evidence thereof as a witness by a court of justice in due course of law. So help 
you God. "(Par. 559, N. G. R., '22.) 

Evidence by Deposition. Where the deposition of a person residing within the 
State is desired, and it is impracticable to have it taken by a military officer, the president 
of the court should refer it to some civil official, for example, a notary public, competent to 
administer oaths, and residing near the place where the desired witness is at the time. If 
the president does not know of any such person, the papers should be forwarded to the 
adjutant general of the State, who will see that they are referred to a proper person. 

If the witness resides beyond the limits of the State, the papers will be forwarded to 
the adjutant general of the State in which the court is convened. The State authorities 
will transmit them to those of the State where the witness resides, and the deposition will 
be secured as provided in similar cases for civil courts. (Par. 565, N. G. R., '22.) 

Punishment of Witnesses. Although there is no power in a court-martial of the 
Array to punish a witness for not testifying, this is not the case with a court-martial of the 
National Guard. By section 108, its president is authorized "to sentence for a refusal to 

110 



be sworn or to answer as provided in actions before civil courts." For the extent of this 
power in any particular instance consult the local law. (Par. 564, N. G. R., '22.) 

Punishing Power of Courts. Courts-martial in the National Guard may not 
impose punishments other than those specifically mentioned in the National Guard Regu- 
lations. (See next three paragraphs.) (Par. 567, N. G. R., '22.) 

General Court-Martial Punishments. The punishments which may be imposed 
by a general court-martial are the following: 

(a) Dismissal, in the case of an officer. 

(6) Dishonorable discharge, in the case of an enlisted man. 

(c) Reduction to the ranks, in the case of a noncommissioned officer. 

{d) Forfeiture of pay and allowances. 

(e) Fine, not exceeding S200, or confinement in lieu thereof, at a rate not exceeding 
one day for each dollar. 

(/) Reprimand. (Par. 550, N. G. R., '22.) 

Approval of Governor. No sentence of dismissal from the service or dishonorable 
discharge, imposed by a National Guard court-martial, not in the service of the United 
States, shall be executed until approved by the governor of the State or Territory con- 
cerned, or by the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. 
(Sec. 107, N. D. A.) 

Special Court-Martial Punishments. The punishments which may be imposed 
by a special court-martial are the same as those stated in the remarks in paragraph above 
except that — 

(a) As an officer may not be tried by special court, dismissal can not be imposed by it. 

(6) Fines imposed by it may not exceed $100. (Par. 551, N. G. R., '22.) 

Summary Court Punishments. The punishments which may be imposed by a 
summary court are the following: 

(a) Reduction to the ranks in the case of a noncommissioned officer. 

(6) Forfeiture of pay and allowances. 

(c) Fine, not exceeding $25, or confinement in lieu thereof. ( Par. 552, N. G. R., '22.) 

Suggestions for Suitable Punishments. In order to secure some degree of uni- 
formity in punishment for particular offenses imposed by courts-martial of the National 
Guard in different States, the following table is presented, giving the maximum punishment 
recommended for certain offenses. 

The maximum named for any particular offense should be imposed only in aggravated 
cases, or in those where the record of previous convictions shows the accused to be an old 
offender; in ordinary cases a lighter punishment than that named should be inflicted, the 
court taking into consideration all attendant circumstances and also the previous record 
of the accused. 

It should be clearly understood that this schedule merely represents the opinion of the 
Militia Bureau and those officers of the National Guard whom there was opportunity to 
consult. With experience other and better schedules will be recommended until finally a 
uniform standard may be attained. 

In the meanwhile it should be held in mind that the schedule is not a binding one. 
(Par. 575, N. G. R., '22.)

Accumulative Punishments. Upon conviction of any offense or offenses for which 
a fine amounting to SIO may be adjudged, a noncommissioned officer may also be sentenced 
to reduction. Dishonorable discharge, with forfeiture of all pay and allowances due and to 
become due, may be adjudged in addition to the punishment stated in the table, whenever 
five or more previous convictions are shown, or whenever a soldier is convicted, on one 
arraignment, of two or more offenses, the aggregate punishment for which is a fine exceeding 
$50.00. (Par. 574, N. G. R., '22.) 

Confinement in lieu of Fine. All courts-martial of the National Guard, not in the 
service of the United States, including summary courts, shall have power to sentence to 
confinement in lieu of fines authorized to be imposed: Provided, That such sentence of 
confinement shall not exceed one day for each dollar of fine authorized. (Sec. 106, N. D. A.) 

When sentences of confinement can be made effective, such punishment may be in- 
flicted by confinement in an armory rather than in a jail or penitentiary. (Par. 582, N. 
G. R., '19.) 

It is held that Sec. 106, National Defense Act means that such a courts-martial may 
either imprison or fine, in its discretion, and that imprisonment is not restricted to cases 
of default of payment of fine. (Cir. Let. No. 73, M. B., Nov. 20, 1920.) 

Alternative Sentence. It is held that the statute contemplates that sentences may 

be imposed in the alternative, e.g., "To pay to the State of a fine 

of one-hundred dollars or to be confined at such place as the reviewing authority may direct 
until such fine is so paid, but for not more than one hundred days." (Cir. Let. No. 73, 
M. B., Nov. 20, 1920.) 

Forfeiture of Armory Drill Pay. It should be borne in mind that absence from 
drill, camp, etc., of itself debars the absentee from Federal pay for the period, without the 
sentence of a court-martial. This is not a punishment, but merely the withholding of 
money that has not been earned, which necessarily takes place whether the absence is with 
or without fault on the part of the soldier. If the absence is wiUful and unjustifiable the 
offender should be tried and fined for the sake of the deterrent effect upon himself and 
others. (Par. 571, N. G. R., '22.) 

Charging the cost of articles lost is no part of a court-martial sentence, but is an 
administrative act, and has nothing to do with whether the man is tried or not. (Par. 
572, N. G. R., '22.) 

Collection of Court-Martial Fines. If a monetary penalty is imposed as a fine, 
it v/ill be collected by the civil official authorized by law to do so in the State; if imposed 
as a forfeiture, it will be withheld by the officer or agent of the Quartermaster Corps from 
the amount otherwise due as Federal pay. (Par. 573, N. G. R., '22.) 

Disposition of Court-Mart ial Record. That copy of the record of trial by summary 
court which in the Regular Army is sent to the "officer exercising general court-martial 
jurisdiction," is in the National Guard sent to the adjutant general of the State, Territory 
or District concerned. (Par. 555, N. G. R., '22.) 

The top fold of the original copy of the charges in a case tried by general court-martial, 
and the record of trial of said case which in the Regular Army are finally forwarded to the 
Judge Advocate General of the Army, are, in the National Guard, sent to the adjutant 
general of the State, Territory, or District concerned. (Par. 556, N. G. R., '22.) 

Articles of War. Articles 1, 2, and 29, 54 to 96, inclusive, and 104 to 109, inclusive, 

of the Articles of War shall be read and explained to every soldier at the time of his enlist- 
ment, or within six days thereafter. (Par. 331, N. G. R., '22.) 

They are as follows (Extracted from Articles of War Approved June 4, 1920):

officer who is responsible for unnecessary delay in investigating or carrying the case to a 
final conclusion shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. When a person is held for 
trial by general court-martial the commanding officer will within eight days after the ac- 
cused is arrested or confined, if practicable, forward the charges to the officer exercising 
general court-martial jurisdiction and furnish the accused a copy of such charges. If the 
same be not practicable, he will report to superior authority the reasons for delay. The 
trial judge advocate will cause to be served upon the accused a copy of the charges upon 
which trial is to be had, and a failure so to serve such charges will be ground for a con- 
tinuance unless the trial be had on the charges furnished the accused as hereinbefore pro- 
vided. In time of peace no person shall, against his objection, be brought to trial before a 
general court-martial within a period of five days subsequent to the service of charges upon 
him. 

Art. 71. Refusal to receive and keep prisoners. No provost marshal or com- 
mander of a guard shall refuse to receive or keep any prisoner committed to his charge by 
an officer belonging to the forces of the United States, provided the officer committing shall, 
at the time, deliver an account in writing, signed by himself, of the crime or offense charged 
against the prisoner. Any officer or soldier so refusing shall be punished as a court-martial 
may direct. 

Art. 72. Report of prisoners received. Every commander of a guard to whose 
charge a prisoner is committed shall, within twenty-four hours after such confinement, or as 
soon as he is reheved from his guard, report in writing to the commanding officer the name 
of such prisoner, the offense charged against him, and the name of the officer committing 
him; and if he fails to make such report, he shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. 

Art. 73. Releasing prisoner without proper authority. Any person subject to 
mihtary law who, without proper authority, releases any prisoner duly committed to his 
charge, or who through neglect or design suffers any prisoner so committed to escape, shall 
be punished as a court-martial may direct. 

Art. 74. Delivery of offenders to civil authorities. When any person subject 
to military law, except one who is held by the mihtary authorities to answer, or who is 
awaiting trial or result of trial, or who is undergoing sentence for a crime or offense punish- 
able under these articles, is accused of a crime or offense committed within the geographical 
limits of the States of the Union and the District of Columbia, and punishable by the laws 
of the land, the commanding officer is required, except in time of war, upon application duly 
made, to use his utmost endeavor to deliver over such accused person to the civil authorities, 
or to aid the officers of justice in apprehending and securing him, in order that he may be 
brought to trial. Any commanding officer who upon such application refuses or wiUfully 
neglects, except in time of war, to deliver over such accused person to the civil authorities 
or to aid the officers of justice in apprehending and securing him shall be dismissed from the 
service or suffer such other punishment as a court-martial may direct. 

When, under the provisions of this article, delivery is made to the civil authorities of 
an offender undergoing sentence of a court-martial, such delivery, if followed by conviction 
shall be held to interrupt the execution of the sentence of the court-martial, and the offender 
shall be returned to military custody, after having answered to the civil authorities for his 
offense, for the completion of the said court-martial sentence.

V. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

Art. 104. Disciplinary powers of commanding officers. Lender such regulations 
as the President may prescribe, the commanding officer of any detachment, company, or 
higher command may, for minor offenses, impose disciplinary punishments upon persons of 
his command without the intervention of a court-martial, unless the accused demands trial 
by court-martial. 

The discipHnary punishments authorized by this article may include admonition, 
reprimand, withholding of privileges for not exceeding one week, extra fatigue for not ex- 
ceeding one week, restriction to certain specified limits for not exceeding one week, and hard 
labor without confinement for not exceeding one week, but shall not include forfeiture of 
pay or confinement under guard; except that in time of war or grave pubhc emergency a 
commanding officer of the grade of brigadier general or of higher grade may, under the 
provisions of this article also impose upon an officer of his command below the grade of a 
major a forfeiture of not more than one-half of such officer's monthly pay for one month. 
A person punished under authority of this article, who deems his punishment unjust or 
disproportionate to the offense, may, through the proper channel, appeal to the next superior 
authority, but may in the meantime be required to undergo the punishment adjudged. The 
commanding officer who imposes the punishment, his successor in comm^and, and superior 
authority shall have power to mitigate or remit any unexecuted portion of the punishment. 
The imposition and enforcement of disciplinary punishment under authority of this article 
for any act or omission shall not be a bar to trial by court-martial for a crime or offense 
growing out of the same act or omission; but the fact that a disciplinary punishment has 
been enforced may be shown by the accused upon trial, and when so shown shall be con- 
sidered in determining the measure of punishment to be adjudged in the event of a finding 
of guilty. 

Art. 105. Injuries to property. — Redress of. Whenever complaint is made to 
any commanding officer that damage has been done to the property of any person or that 
his property has been wrongfully taken by persons subject to military law, such complaint 
shall be investigated by a board consisting of any number of officers from one to three, 
which board shall be convened by the commanding officer and shall have, for the purpose of 
such investigation, power to summon witnesses and examine them upon oath or affirmation, 
to receive depositions or other documentary evidence, and to assess the damages sustained 
against the responsible parties. The assessment of damages made by such board shall be 
subject to the approval of the commanding officer, and in the amount approved by him shall 
be stopped against the pay of the offenders. And the order of such commanding officer 

121 



directing stoppages herein authorized shall be conclusive on any disbursing officer for the 
payment by him to the injured parties of the stoppages so ordered. 

Where the offenders cannot be ascertained, but the organization or detachment to 
which they belong is known, stoppages to the amount of damages inflicted may be made and 
assessed in such proportion as may be deemed just upon the individual members thereof 
who are shown to have been present with such organization or detachment at the time the 
damages complained of were inflicted as determined by the approved findings of the board. 

Art. lOG. Arrest of deserters by civil officials. It shall be lawful for any civil 
officer having authority under the laws of the United States, or of any State, Territory, 
District, or possession of the United States, to arrest offenders, summarily to arrest a de- 
serter from the military service of the United States and deliver him into the custody of the 
mihtary authorities of the United States. 

Art. 107. Soldiers to make good time lost. Every soldier who in an existing or 
subsequent enhstment deserts the service of the United States or without proper authority 
absents himself from his organization, station, or dut}^ for more than one day, or who is 
confined for more than one day under sentence, or while awaiting trial and disposition of 
his case, if the trail results in conviction, or through the intemperate use of drugs or alcoholic 
liquor, or through disease or injury the result of his own misconduct, renders himself unable 
for more than one day to perform duty, shall be liable to serve, after his return to a full- 
duty status, for such period as shall, with the time he may have served prior to such deser- 
tion, unauthorized absence, confinement, or inabiUty to perform duty, amount to the full 
term of that part of his enlistment period which he is required to serve with his organiza- 
tion before being furloughed to the Army reserve. 

Art. 108. Soldiers — Separation from the service. No enhsted man, lawfully 
inducted into the mihtary service of the United States, shall be discharged from said service 
without a certificate of discharge, signed by a field officer of the regiment or other organiza- 
tion to which the enhsted man belongs or by the commanding officer when no such field 
officer is present; and no enhsted man shall be discharged from said service before his term 
of service has expired except by order of the President, the Secretary of War, the command- 
ing officer of a department, or by sentence of a general court-martial. 

Art. 109. Oath of enlistment. At the time of his enhstment every soldier shall 

take the following oath or affirmation: "I, , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will 

bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of America; that I will serve them honestly 
and faithfully against aU their enemies whomsoever; and that I will obey the orders of the 
President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to

Errors and Omissions in Requisitions. Failure to include the date in space 
provided in upper left-hand corner. Omission of serial number in space provided in upper 
right-hand corner. Omission of complete shipping address. Failure to state quantities 
on hand in first column. 

Placing of quantities desired in second column, headed "Quantity Due U. S.** 
instead of in fourth column headed "Required For." The object of the second 
column is to note quantities previously requisitioned for and approved for issue but not 
yet received. In some instance, requisitions have been received with the quantities desired 
in fifth column headed "UNIT." In every instance the number of articles desired should 
be noted in but one column, viz., the fourth, headed "Required For." In the fifth column 
headed "UNIT" should be noted the unit basis of computation such as "each," "dozen," 
yard," "box," etc. (Cir. Letter, M. B., No. 42, July 22, 1920.) 

Timely requisitions necessary. It is also recognized that in some instances the 
States do not anticipate their requirements far enough in advance to justify commenda- 
tion for applying business principles. Sometimes emergencies occur and in such cases this 
Biu-eau is glad to render all possible assistance in having shipments rushed. It is believed, 
however, that by reasonable foresight the emergency nature of a large number of cases 
can be obviated. Within the past few months several States have telegraphed for certain 
articles to be delivered for use in a camp which would begin within a few days from the date 
of the wire, although the authority for the camp had been granted several weeks prior to 
that date. Failure to forward requisitions in ample time to allow for necessary routine 
action thereon and shipment by the depots and delivery by the carriers, results in em- 
barrassment to the National Guard and criticism of the federal authorities for failure to 
overcome physical impossibilities. The efficiency of the State officials is judged by the 
exercise of sufficient foresight in anticipating requirements and by the limitation of use of 
telegrams to the lowest possible minimum. (Cir. Letter M. B., No. 42, July 22, 1920.) 

Separate Requisitions for each Supply Department. Separate requisitions will 
be submitted for each class of supplies required for, i. e. —

supply departments. Requisitions of this character will be returned to the State concerned to 
be prepared as required by these regulations. (Par. 826, N. G. R., '22.)

Care in Preparation of Requisitions. It is requested that hereafter the authority 
under which the supplies are called for be stated under "Basis for Requisition," such as 

"MiHtia Bureau Letter" (date and file number), or "War Department Circular No " 

(date), or whatever the authority is. 

Remarks should be made under the "Explanatory Notes," such as "Initial equipment 
required for" (name of organization), "Required for the maintenance of tractors," or 
"Cleaning and preserving materials for battery equipment," or whatever the reason 
for requesting the supplies. 

The name of the consignee is not necessary in the space provided for shipping direc- 
tions, but shipping instructions should read: "Ship to: The United States Property and 

Disbursing Officer for the National Guard of "or "The Commanding 

Officer, Company (Troop or Battery) , , Regiment," 

with the point of destination plainly indicated and street address shown where essential. 
Shipping directions should always be clear, explicit, and complete. (Cir. Let. No. 10, 
M. B., Feb. 14, 1921.) 

Classification of Q. M. Supplies on Requisition. In order to facilitate the hand- 
ling of requisitions for quartermaster property and insure prompt issue of the stores re- 
quested thereon, it is desired that in the future such requisitions be prepared from the fore- 
going lists and each class of property entered on a separate sheet of the requisition. To 
enter more than one class of property on a single sheet would defeat the purpose for which 
the foregoing classification of property was made, and it is requested that extreme care be 
taken to have the requisitions properly classified before they are forwarded to this office. 
(Cir. Let No. 49, M. B., July 25, 1921.)

ments of States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, and organizations of the Na- 
tional Guard recognized as such by the War Department under the act of June 3, 1916, 
shall wear collar ornaments and insignia as prescribed below:

gothic design, five-eighths inch high, each letter followed by a period, with letters forming the 
authorized abbreviation of the name of the State, not to exceed four letters, one-fourth inch 
high, in gilt medal, superimposed thereon. All superimposed letters will be gothic design. 

(6) The letters "U. S.," with the State abbreviation superimposed will be worn 1 inch 
from each end of the collar, with a suitable space between the letters, and placed midway 
between the upper and lower edges of the collar. 

(c) The insignia of the corps, department, or arm of the service and the insignia of 
aides and chiefs of staff will be worn five-eighths inch from the letters "U. S.," next to 
letter farthest from the opening of collar. 

For all enlisted men of the federally recognized National Guard: 

(d) On the right side of the collar, a disk one inch in diameter, with raised rim en- 
circling the letters "U. S.," in bronze, with the letters forming the authorized abbreviation 
of the name of the State, not to exceed four letters, superimposed thereon in bright metal; 
the disk will also bear below the letters ''U. S.," the number of the regiment, or other 
numbered unit when applicable. When there is no unit number the "U. S" will be in the 
center of the disk. 

(e) On the left side of the collar, a disk one inch in diameter with raised rim, encircling 
the device of the corps, department, or arm of the service; this disk will also bear in the 
lower angle of the devise (except in Engineer companies where the letter will be above the 
middle turret) the company letter for the men in troops, batteries or companies, except

''M. G.," or "S.," respectively. 

(/) Disk insignia will be worn on the service coat, edge of disk to be 1 inch from the

All ornaments mentioned above are authorized and available for issue except the 
ornament HQ for enlisted men under No. 1, above; recommendation that such an ornament 
be authorized for issue to Headquarters of Brigades and higher units has been approved. 

In each case where the US is used the authorized abbreviation of the name of the State 
will be superimposed thereon as prescribed in paragraphs B and C Army Regulations, No. 
600-35, Specifications of the Uniform. 

The shoulder patch insignia now authorized is a distinctive mark of brigades and 
higher units, and no necessity for an additional collar ornament for this purpose is apparent. 
(Cir. Letter No. 9, M. B., 1922.) 

Uniform worn only on Duty. Uniforms issued to the National Guard and paid 
for from Federal appropriations are the property of the United States, and they will not be 
worn by members of the National Guard except upon official occassions, including mobihza- 
tion, assemblies for armory training, target practice, camps of instruction and field training, 
parades and reviews. They may be worn on social occasions only at assemblies at the 
authorized armory when authorized or required by the commanding officer concerned. 
The wearing of the uniforms on private social occasions is expressly prohibited. The 
wearing of mixed uniform and civilian dress is prohibited. (Par. 534, N. G. R., '22.) 

Sam Browne Belt. The Sam Browne Belt will be worn at all times by officers out- 
side their quarters when in service coat, and with the olive-drab shirt if under arms. When 
the overcoat is worn, the Sam Browne Belt will be worn under the overcoat, except in the 
field when the pistol and Canteen are carried. A single shoulder strap passing over the 
right shoulder and under the shoulder loop on the service coat, and attached to the belt 
on the left side, will be worn at all times with the belt, except when equipped for field service 
with pistol, leather magazine pocket, canteen, and first aid packet. In this latter case a 
double shoulder strap will be worn, one strap passing over the right shoulder and the other 
passing over the left shoulder. These straps will cross in front over the chest and in rear 
on the back, each one being attached to the belt similarly to the single shoulder strap 
described above. The Sam Browne belt will be worn by commissioned officers only. 

The Sam Browne belt will shortly be available at all Quartermaster General Sales Stores 
and after January 15, 1922, can be supplied by the Officer in Charge, Quartermaster 
Intermediate Depot, Jeffersonville, Indiana. The cost of the belt is S7.50 plus postage 
and insurance. It is made all sizes from 32 to 44. A 36 inch belt measures 36 inches from 
the center bar of the buckle to the center set of the five sets of holes provided for the buckle 
tongues. (Cir. Letter No. 1, M. B., 1922.) 

Service Stripes. All enhsted men of the Regular Army, National Guard and organ- 
ized Reserves who have served faithfully on active federal service as enlisted men will wear 
a service stripe of olive drab 2i^ inches long and ^^ inches wide on a blue background 
leaving a border of 3^ inch around the stripe, for each fuU period of three years of such 
service, continuous or otherwise. 

The first stripe will be worn on the left sleeve centered on its outer half, the axis at 45 
degrees to the horizontal, the lower end to the front and four inches from the lower end of 
the sleeve. 

Similarly, all enlisted men of the Army, National Guard and Organized Reserves, who 
have served for three years in other than federal service under the above conditions will 
wear the same stripes on a huff background. 

Stripes, as above prescribed, for additional three-year periods of service, federal or 
National Guard, will be placed above and parallel to the first, at 3^-inch intervals. (Cir. 
Let. No. 87, M. B., Dec. 30, 1920.) 

Wearing of Badges and Medals. Officers and enlisted men of the National Guard 
not in the service of the United States are authorized to wear as part of their uniforms 
such National Guard decorations, medals and badges as are authorized by their respective 
State laws or regulations. When such decorations, badges and medals are worn they will 

131 



be worn on the left of the decorations, medals and badges authorized in the Regulations for 
the uniform of the United States Army. (Par. 535, N. G. R., '22.) 

Distinctive Badges or Trimmings on the Uniform. It has been approved, in 
principle, that regiments of the Regular Army and National Guard may wear distinctive 
badges or trimmings on their uniforms as a means of promoting esprit de corps and keeping 
alive historical traditions. Various organizations which carry colors or standards have 
generally submitted coats of arms having certain historical significances. As far as ap- 
proved, these coats of arms will form the basis for regimental colors or standards which will 
eventually replace the present regimental colors or standards when these wear out. The 
use of the coats of arms as collar ornaments in lieu of the insignia of corps, departments, 
or arms of service would be an example of distinctive badges to be worn by a regiment. 

Regimental commanders are authorized to submit through military channels, recom- 
mendations for distinctive badges or trimmings for their regiments. (Cir. Let. No. 66, 
M. B., Sept. 29, 1921.) 

Shoulder Sleeve Insignia for Corps and Army Troops. 1. The War Depart- 
ment has decided that, under the provisions of paragraph 41, Army Regulations 600-40, 
"Wearing of the Uniform" units of the Regular Army, Organized Reserves, or National 
Guard, when completely organized as Corps and Army Troops according to instructions 
from the War Department, are authorized to wear the shoulder sleeve insignia of the Corps 
or Army to which assigned by organization charts in the War Department. 

2. This decision rescinds all former instructions in conflict with it. (Cir. Letter No. 
15, M. B., 1922.)

C. PUBLIGATIONS, ALLOWANCES OF 

There follow herewith tables showing the allowance of War Department Documents 
for the follo-wdng as prescribed by the Militia Bureau: 

Infantry 

Cavalry 

Field Artillery 

Coast Artillery 

Medical Department 

Engineers 

In requisitioning for publications the following procedure should be followed: 

"Note. — 1. To secure the prescribed allowance of publications company 
commanders should first obtain such documents as are available at their regimental 
headquarters. 

2. Requisition for the remainder will then be sent to the U. S. Property and 
Disbursing Officer. 

3. The U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer will fill the company commander 
requisition with such documents as he has on hand. Having completed the issue from 
local stock the U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer will prepare a SINGLE requisi- 
tion which will show the requirements and SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS for each 
individual company. This can best be done by devoting a sheet to each unit and then 
combining them into one formal requisition. This requisition will be sent direct to 
the Mihtia Bureau and the War Department will make shipment direct to the company 
organizations concerned. The complete requisition must be submitted to the Militia 
Bureau in triplicate, and the publications required should be arranged in the sequence 
given in this list. (Militia Bureau, March, 1921.)" 

Issue of Army Regulations. The new edition of Army Regulations now in course 
of preparation, will be issued in a series of pamphlets arranged for filing in loose leaf binders. 

As the new regulations are published they will be furnished to the Adjutants General 
of the States and by them distributed to organizations and individuals in accordance with 
a table of allowances which will accompany each lot of regulations. Loose Leaf binders 
will be furnished by the Militia Bureau. (Cir. Let. No. 68, M. B., Nov. 9, 1920.)

The allowances enumerated above are the maximum amounts authorized and are 
only intended for use for drill purposes. The amount required monthly may vary, but 
the total quantity for the year (excluding 15 days encampment for which special allowances 
should be included in the estimates submitted for said encampment) must not exceed 12 
times the amount listed above unless the cost of the excess be met from funds other than 
Federal. The cost of gasoline, oil, and grease is chargeable against funds under the sub- 
appropriation "General Expenses, Equipment and instruction National Guard," appor- 
tionment "Equipment and Incidental Expenses," which funds are apportioned to the 
States and therefore, unless sufficient funds remain to the credit of the States under the 
subappropriation and apportionment cited, the necessary gasoline, oil and grease required 
for drill purposes must be obtained from funds other than Federal. 

Before any expense of the nature in question can be incurred as a charge against 
Federal funds an estimate of the amounts required, together with the cost of same, at the 
beginning of each quarter, should be submitted to this Bureau for approval and reservation 
of the amount required, this action being necessary in view of the provisions of G. O. No. 
20, War Department, 1921, that no expense shall be incurred until funds are reserved for 
the purpose. 

If the expenses are authorized, the articles will be obtained by open market purchase 
to the best advantage of the Government, and paj^ment will be made by the Property and 
Disbursing Officer of the State, if funds therefor have been placed to his official credit for 
the purpose. If the expenses are met from Federal funds a copy of this authority must be 
filed with the voucher on which credit is claimed for the payment. 

182 



No allowance can be authorized during the current year for other motorized equipment 
due to the limited amount of Federal funds appropriated by Congress. 

The foregoing instructions are effective from and on February 1, 1922, and will remain 
in force until otherwise amended. (Cir. Let. No. 10, M. B., 1922.) 

Allowance of Chemical Ammunition. The issue of chemical ammunition for 
training and target practice has been authorized to combat arms of the National Guard, 
as follows:

For each Organized Division: 

Smoke candles 2000 

For each Regiment of Infantry armed with 3-inch Stokes Mortars: 

Live 3-inch Stokes smoke bombs (W. P. ) 30

Defenses. (Cir. Let. No. 79, 1920.) 

Allowance of Loose Leaf Binders. AUov/ance is shown in Circular Letter No. 68, 
1920, and one binder should be provided for each company and similar unit, but it will not 
be practicable to issue binders to individual officers. They can be obtained on requisition, 
a charge of SI. 00 per binder being made against the State allotment. (,Cir. Let. 26, M. B., 
March 31, 1921.) 

Requisition for Virus for Inoculation and Vaccination. Requisition for virus

warded direct to the Mihtia Bureau when arrangement will be made with the Surgeon

Arm Racks will not be furnished the National Guard by the War Department at 
the present time, except as a cash sale under the provisions of Section 86 of the National 
Defense Act approved June 3, 1916. 

It is thought that all States should provide, at their own expense, adequate means for 
the safeguarding of arms when not in use, and it is urged that this be done. If any unusual 
conditions are present in a State where an exception to this rule would appear to be justified, 
statement to that effect should be furnished for consideration by this office. (Cir. Let. 16, 
M. B., March 14, 1921.)

D. PROPERTY ACCOUNTING 
Accountability 

All military property issued to the National Guard as provided by law remains the 
property of the United States. (Par. 811, N. G. R., *22.) 

United States property issued to a State for the use of the National Guard thereof can- 
not be loaned or used for any purpose other than that for which issued. (Par. 812, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

System of Property Accounting. The system of property accounting provided 
for the Army of the United States by the War Department Special Regulations 120, 1921, 
applies to Federal property issued to States for National Guard use and purposes, except 
as otherwise provided by these regulations. (Par. 813, N. G. R., '22.) 

Accountability and Responsibility Defined. Under the provisions of section 67 j 
National Defense Act, United States property and disbursing officers are held "account- 
able" for all property issued their respective States and "responsible" for all property in 
their actual possession. They shall keep such records and make such returns and reports, 
concerning Federal property as may be required by the Secretary of War. Organization 
commanders are "responsible" to the State and Federal authorities for the property issued 
to their organizations, and "accountable" to the property and disbursing officer concerned 
for such property. 

An accountable officer is relieved from responsibihty for property when he issues 
same upon proper requisition. A responsible officer is not relieved from responsibility 
for property which has been issued to him until he has returned the property to the issuing 
officer, or has been relieved from responsibility by transfer of property to his successor, or 
by approved survey proceedings or other prescribed methods for release from property 
responsibility. (Par. 814, N. G. R., '22.) 

All United States property must be accounted for on prescribed forms and records. 
All United States property unaccounted for to the War Department will when discovered be 
taken up and accoimted for by the proper accounting officer. When discovered by officers 
not accountable for property or by enhsted men or civilian employees, they shall report the 
same as soon as practicable to the accountable officer, who will take it up and account for 
it. When for any reason the accountable officer cannot be communicated with or is not 
known to the officer or enhsted man or civihan employee, such officer, enlisted man, or 
civihan employee will notify the adjutant general of the State, who will see that the 
accounting officer is notified. (Pat. 815, N. G. R., '22.) 

Records Used in Accounting for Property 

(a) The Individual Equipment Record, Form 637, A. G. O. 

Each enlisted man entitled to individual equipment will be provided with an individual 
equipment card (Form No. 637, A. G. O.) which will be kept in the office of the company or 
detachment commander. Upon receipt of his equipment he will sign for it in place provided 
therefor, and will at all times be prepared to produce such equipment v/hen called upon to 
do so. When articles are to be turned in (not in exchange for new) his immediate com- 
mander will deliver same to supply officer and obtain signed copy of receiving report from 
the receiving clerk. This receipt will show the name of the enlisted man, and will be filed 
in the organization until the next visit of the auditor, when it will be destroyed. The 
receipting by the eiilisted man for his individual equipment will not relieve the National Guard 
authorities from seeing that the equipment is not removed from the armory for other than mili- 
tary purposes. (Par. 905, N. G. R., '22.) 

Class of Property Entered. All property of any class issued to an enlisted man for 
his individual use, expendable articles excepted, will be entered on his individual equipment 
record, Form No. 637, A. G. O., under proper headings. (Par. 121, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

187 



Entries — 

a. For Property Issued. (1) The following articles of equipment issued to an en- 
listed man will be entered on his individual equipment record only, and not on the property 
loan record; they will be dropped from all other property records. 

(a) Equipment A and B, expendable articles excepted. Table I, Tables of Basic 
Allowances. (Cir. 152, W. D., 1920.) 

All other articles issued to an enhsted man, expendable articles excepted, will be ac - 
counted for both on his individual equipment record and in the totals of the organization 
property loan records. The title to all property remains in the United States, and the 
soldier must produce the property charged to him when requested to do so by proper 
authority. (Pars. 64c, 73, 74, and 176c (3).) 

(2) Property issued to a soldier, expendable property excepted, will be entered in one 
of the columns of the individual equipment record under the heading "Issued," and the 
date of the issue will be indicated by figures on the date line in the proper columns thus, 
"7-2-18." The issue will be attested by the initials of the witnessing officer. The receipt 
of the property by the soldier will be acknowledged in all cases by his initials at the foot of 
the column — for clothing on the hne immediately above the hne "Officer's initials," and 
for equipment on the line "Soldier's initials." 

(3) The witnessing officer will draw a line through each blank space in the column 
under the particular class of property which is involved. If two or more blank spaces 
appear together, a continuous vertical line will be used, but if only one blank space is to be 
canceled a horizontal line will be used instead of the vertical line. 

(4) It is neither necessary nor desirable to have a "balance" column after each issue. 

(5) When clothing is first issued to the soldier the sizes that have been determined to 
be the proper ones will be entered in the column headed "Sizes." (Par. 73a; par. 1158, 
A. R.;par. 91, C. of O.) 

6. For Property Turned In. (1) When property is turned in or otherwise accounted 
for the items will be dropped from the individual equipment record or propertyjloan record 
or both, the action being supported by receiving reports, shipping tickets, reports of survey, 
I. & I. reports, or statement of charges, as vouchers. (Pars. 1756, 176/, 142, 178, and 160.) 
(2) The items will be entered in a column under the heading "Turned in," the column 
being completed and initialed by the officer who received the articles turned in or who enters 
on statement of charges the articles lost, damaged, or destroyed. 

(3) No record will be made of a transaction when an article is dropped and replaced 
by a like article at the same time on a requisition stamped "Exchanged" (Pars. 67 and 17 Qd), 
or when the article is turned in temporarily for repair or renovation. The shipping ticket 
covering the transaction will be filed as in the case of other shipping tickets. (Pars. 117, 
678, 685-687, 681-0, A. R., S. R. No. 77.) (Par. 122 Spec. Regs., '57.) 

Transfer or Detachment, a. When a soldier is transferred or detached from his 
company the articles which the soldier is to carry with him (par. 122a), together with any 
missing articles of equipment for which he is indebted to the United States, will be entered 
in the first unused "Issued" column, which will bear the date of his change of status. Other 
articles for which he is responsible will be entered in the first unused "Turned in" column 
upon being turned in. This column will also bear the date of his change of status. Both 
"Issued" and "Turned in" columns will be initialed by the witnessing officer. The column 
showing the articles of clothing which the soldier is to take with him will be initialed by the 
soldier as provided in paragraph 124. Any other articles of equipment which the soldier 
takes with him, including missing articles for which he is indebted to the United States, will 
be recorded in a new "Issued" column under the proper heading as provided above in case 
of clothing. This column will be initialed as prescribed in paragraph 124. (Par. 681-0, 
A. R.)

6. Articles of equipment which the soldier is ordered to take with him, other than 
clothing and equipment designated for his retention upon transfer by equipment tables 
will be entered upon a shipping ticket in duphcate and the receipt of the soldier obtained 
on both copies. One copy vnB. be sent to the new station of the soldier with his equip- 
ment record; the original will be retained as a voucher to the property loan record from 
which the articles other than clothing and individual equipment designated for reten- 
tion by the soldier upon transfer are to be dropped. In case of the transfer of several 
men, the articles of equipment described in this paragraph will be Hsted separately on 
the same shipping ticket, the receipt of each soldier being secured beneath the articles 
for which he is responsible. (Par. 176/.) 

c. The individual equipment record will be forwarded with the service record to the 
soldier's new commanding officer. 

d. When a soldier enters a hospital, entry will be made in pencil in a vacant "Turned 
in" column of his individual equipment record of the articles of pubHc property collected 
and turned in to the supply sergeant. (Par. 188c.) Upon his return from hospital, the 
articles will be returned to him and the pencil notation erased from the individual equip- 
ment record. (Par. 125, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Note. — If no property or equipment is to be transferred with the man, his indi- 
vidual equipment record should nevertheless be accomplished and forwarded. 

Filing. The individual equipment records wiU be filed in alphabetical order by 
grades, as in the case of the service records, in the loose-leaf binder provided. The file 
will be kept in the right upper section of the top of the field desk. (Par. 212.) (Par. 130. 
Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Company Equipment Record for National Guard consists of: 

The 'property loan recordy Q.M. C. Form 7, 2635; and, according to the circumstances; 

Copies of requisitions, Q. M. C, Form 160; 

Copies of receiving reports, Q. M. C, Form 257; 

Copies of shipping tickets, Q. M. C. Form 260. 

Statements of charges. Form 601, A. G.O. 

Copies of reports of survey, Form 196, A. G.O. 

Over, Short and Damaged Report, Form 161, Q. M. C. 

Property Loan Record, Q. M. C. Form 263B 

The commanding officer of each company in the State will keep a property loan 
record (Q. ^I. C, Form No, 263) on which will be listed all Federal property in possession of 
the organization or unit. All articles received by the organization or unit from the property 
and disbursing officer or from a shipping depot or arsenal direct will be entered on this record. 
Any articles returned by the organization or unit or dropped by survey will likewise be recorded, 
so that all times the record will indicate the balances on hand. (Par. 903, N. G. R., '22.) 

The property loan record is a continuing record in the company and will remain with 
the company upon change of station. The vouchers pertaining to each card will be kept 
with or in it until inspected by the zone property auditor. 

All articles of equipment issued to a company will be hsted on the property loan record. 
Each class of property will be hsted separately under appropriate headings. In each class 
items will be listed in alphabetical order as they appear on the tables of basic allowances. 

Upon demand of the auditor, the property officer of the unit must be prepared to show 
either the property entered on his property loan record, or a signed receiving report 
showing that it has been turned in to, or accounted for, by some supply officer, or a survey 
report showing that he has been authorized to drop it. 

Transactions will be recorded on the property loan record from time to time as they 
occur, the record being kept complete and up-to-date at all times. If, under any item, all 
the spaces for recording receipt or return are used, when the next transaction occurs the 
item will be checked thus (V) and transferred to the end of the list where the record will be

continued. Whenever it becomes necessary to replace a sheet of the record the balances 
from the old record will be transferred to the first "Balance" column of the new record. 
The old record will be retained until inspected by the zone property auditor. 

In posting items to the property loan record it will be borne in mind that the columns 
under the heading "Quantity Rec'd" are debit columns and those under "Quantity Ret'd" 
credit columns. (Par. 63, Spec. Regs., 57.)

RECEIVING SUPPLIES AND PROPERTY 
Procedure Upon Receipt of Property. 

Upon the receipt of public property by an officer he will make careful examination to 
ascertain its quality and condition. Should he discover defect or shortage, or consider the 
property unfit for use, he will file an over, short or damage report or, as the facts may 
determine, apply for a survey to ascertain the facts and fix the responsibility. The same 
rule will be observed in regard to property damaged or missing while in store. (Par. 842, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

192 



When packages of supplies are opened for the first time, whether because of apparent 
defect or for issue, the officer responsible or some other commissioned officer will be present 
and verify the contents by actual weight, count, or measurement, as circumstances may re- 
quire, and in case of deficiency or damage will make written report of the facts to the ad- 
jutant general of the State. If only the officer responsible be present and make the re- 
port, he will secure the sworn statements in writing of one or more civihans or enlisted 
men regarding the condition of the property when examined. Should a survey be or- 
dered, the adjutant general of the State will refer to the surveying officer the report made 
by the examining officer, together with the sworn statements. (Par. 843, N. G. R., '22.) 

Receiving Supplies. 

A man should also be detailed to be present at armories, arsenals and storehouses to 
receipt for property delivered by carriers, as it is presumed the consignee in all cases receives 
notification either from shipping tickets from supply depots or otherwise in advance of 
actual shipments of supplies. (Cir. Let. M. B., No. 10 Feb. 14, 1921.) 

Payment for Trucking of Federal Property. Where freight is received from a 
federal depot direct, the federal government will pay for the cost of trucking from the 
freight station to the company armory. Have the trucking company make out bills in 
duplicate with the following certificate on the bills : 

"I certify that the above accoimt is just and true and that payment for same has not 
been received. 

JONES TRUCKING CO. 

Per J. K. Jones, Secretary." 

The company commander will then fill out Public Form 330, Comptroller of the Treas- 
ury, placing thereon the certificate shown on model below. Of the three certificates shown 
on model below, the first is not on the printed form, while the others are on the form.

Importance of Shipping Ticket. Paragraph 920, of the National Guard Regula- 
tions, 1919, as amended by Circular Letter No. 63, of this office, dated September 13, 1921, 
is very specific in regard to this matter, and prompt compliance by PROPERTY AND 
DLSBURSING OFFICERS and by COMMANDING OFFICERS OF NATIONAL 
GUARD UNITS with the provisions thereof is essential. The Secretary of War therefore 
directs that immediate steps be taken by you to insure compliance with the provisions of 
the regulation cited by all concerned. (Cir. Let. No. 77, M. B., Nov. 12, 1921.) 

Failure to Return Shipping Tickets. In view of numerous complaints which are 
being received in this office almost daily from federal supply officers to the effect that they 
are unable to obtain receipted copies of shipping tickets covering stores issued to property 
and disbursing officers and to National Guard organization commanders in various states, 
attention is invited to Circular Letter No. 24 of this office dated April 27, 1920, in which 
you were requested to issue necessary instructions which would insure the prompt return to 
the issuing officer of a receipted copy of shipping ticket coverings each shipment of federal 
property received in the State. 

Paragraph 920 of the National Guard Regulations, 1919, is very specific in regard to 
this matter, and in view of the regulations requiring that a supply bureau or department 
have a receipted copy of the shipping ticket before reimbursement can be obtained for the 
stores shipped, the importance of prompt compliance with the regulation cited above hy 
PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICERS and by COMMANDING OFFICERS 
of NATIONAL GUARD units becom.es obvious. 

In view of the above, request is again made that immediate steps be taken to see that 
signed copies of shipping tickets covering all federal propeity issued to the National Guard 
are returned to the consignor in each case without delay. It is also requested that a report 
of the action taken in this case be forwarded, together with information as to whether or 
not there exists any reason as to why the provisions of the regulation referred to cannot be 
carried out. (Cir. Let. No. 13, M. B., March 7, 1921.) 



IQS 



D. 1. DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY 

Dropping from Records. United States property which has been issued to a State 
as a charge against Federal appropriations can only be dropped from the records of the 
property and disbursing officer in the state in five ways: — 

First — By Survey proceedings as explained in regulations. 

Second — By over, short or damage reports. 

Third — By turning it into a Federal depot or arsenal. 

Fourth — By transfer to the Federal service with the National Guard when called into 
Federal service. 

Fifth — By certificate of expenditure. 

Note. — An organization commander in order to clear his own property records 
must furnish the State property and disbursing officer with copies of the papers on which 
the company commander relies to clear himself of property so turned in. 

A company commander rnay get clearance for property transferred to another organ- 
ization, or turned in to a state arsenal or storehouse on proper authority. 

Expenditure and Dropping of Property. Articles which are expendable and are 
expended in legitimate militarj^ use may be dropped upon certificate (on shipping ticket 
form) to that effect. If expended by an organization commander, he should furnish certi- 
ficates in duplicate to the property and disbursing officer and the other copy will be for- 
warded by him to the Militia Bureau. A retained copy will be used by the commanding 
officer as a voucher for dropping the articles from his organization equipment record, and 
the copy retained by the property and disbursing officer vrill serve as his voucher for drop- 
ping the articles from his copy of the organization equipment record. 

The various papers, on which property was received or dropped, should be filed numer- 
ically and all numbers of requisitions, shipping tickets, receiving reports, surveys, and over, 
short, and damaged reports must be accounted for. (Par. 865, N. G. R., '22.) 

Dropping of Expendable Property. 

Property authorized to be dropped as expended consists only of such articles as are by 
their use necessarily consumed, as rope, nails, forage, fuel, etc. (Par. 878, N. G. R., '22.) 

Tent Pins Expendable. 

Quartermasters are authorized to drop from their property accounts tent pins, and ax, 
pickax, and hatchet helves, upon officers' certificates that the articles have been worn out 
in service. (A. R., 1176, 1913.) 

Expenditure of Coast Artillery Supplies. 

Ammunition and cleaning material actually expended by the National Guard will be 
dropped from the property accounts of the coast defense supply officers on separate certi- 
ficates of expenditure. Upon the completion of the exercises one copy of the certificate will 
be sent directly to the proper supply service as a basis for reimbursement. (Par. 12, G. O., 
62, W. D., 1921.) 

Publications Not Expendable. 

Company and other organization commanders are authorized to destroy obsolete 
publications of the following nature, with the exception of one copy of each, which will be 
retained for future reference: 

Drill Regulations. 

Manuals of Arms. 

Manuals of Guard Duty. 

Rifle Marksmanship. 

This authority will apply not only to the present but to the future, whenever new 
publications are received. 

196 



Publications, other than those listed in this paragraph, which are issued as a charge 
against Federal appropriations are not expendable property, and whenever the action of a 
surveying officer thereon becomes necessary a report should be made for the consideration 
of the Secretary of War. (Par. 879, N. G. R., '22.) 

Disposition of Empty Cartridge Cases. 

The adjutant general of each State will cause to be turned in to the Q. M. Corps all 
empty cartridge cases, empty packing boxes, bandoleers, and chps derived from the expen- 
diture, in target practice and in competitions of small-arms ammunition issued to the 
National Guard by the Ordnance Department, and the Chief of the Militia Bureau advised 
of the fact. (Par. 900, N. G. R., '22.) 

Empty cartridge cases and the empty receptacles named remaining on hand after the 
ammunition has been fired are the property of the United States, and any other disposition 
of such property than that indicated is illegal; but, as their original value was charged 
against the State's allotment,'credit will be given each State for material so turned in accord- 
ing to rates in War Department orders issued from time to time. (Par. 901, N. G. R., '22.) 

Form of Expenditure Certificate. 

The certificate should be made out in quadruplicate; two copies for P. & D. officer, 
one for zone property auditor, and one for the organization records.

It will be noted that this is a case -.v^here a shipping ticket is a credit voucher. 

Procedure in Transferring Property where an officer Holding Property on Loan 
is Relieved. 

When a successor is appointed to relieve an organization commander, a complete in- 
ventory of the property will be made. After in-^-entory, a certificate on a receiving report 
blank vvill be prepared and executed in triplicate by the succeeding ofhcer to the follo-^ving 
efiect: 

• ............19....

all property enumerated on organization equipment record, as sho'Mi on the list of balances 

attached hereto pertaining to , including last debit voucher 

No , dated , 19 .... , and last credit voucher No 

dated ,19 ' 



(2) If a shortage is found in the property, the succeeding officer will enter the property 
actually received on organization equipment record in the next unused column (in present 
property loan record, Q. M. C. Form 263b or 263c, the next line will be used), and survey 
proceedings will at once be instituted to cover the shortage. 

(3 ) The original copy of the receiving report ^^"ill be filed with the organization equip- 
ment record, duplicate will be given to predecessor, and triplicate will be forwarded to the 
property and disbursing officer. (Par. 874, N. G. R., '22.) 

Procedure when Property Received Checks Over, Short or Damaged. 

(fl) In the event of the receipt of a shipment which checks over, short, or damaged, 
according to the shipping ticket (Q. ivl. C, Form No. 260) made out by the supplying depot or 
arsenal, the consignee, if he be the property and disbursing officer, will fill out an original 
and four carbon copies of an over, short, and damaged report (Q. M. C, Form No. 261), the 
original and three copies of Vv^hich will be forvv^arded b}^ him to the depot or arsenal from 
which the shipment was received and the fifth copy retained by the property and disbursing 
officer for his files as a foliov/-up for the return of the claim. The officer on vs-hich the 
claim is made Yvill after necessary investigation sign the original and two copies of the 
report, entering the money value thereon, and return the original and tvvO copies to the 
supply bureau, department, oj division which ordered the original shipment. The two 
copies will be forwarded by the supply bureau, department, or division, to the Chief of the 
Militia Bureau, who will retain one copy and forward the other to the property and disburs- 
ing officer. The copy received by the property and disbursing officer will be his clearance. 

(h) Where an organization commander is the consignee, sim.ilar procedure will be 
followed, excepting that five carbon copies of the o^^er, short, and damaged report will be 
made out b}^ him, and the original and four copies forv/arded to the supply depot or arsenal 
through the property and disbursing officer (\\'ho v, ill retain one copy for his records), and 
the sixth copy retained for the files of the organization commander. The final action in 
the case, as indicated on the carbon copy returned to the property and disbursing officer by 
the supply bureau (through the MiJifia Bureau), will be noted by him on his retained copy 
of the original papers and the copy from which such notation is made ^vill then be f orv.-arded 
by 'the property and disbursing officer -to the commanding officer of the organization which 
submitted the original o^-er short, and damaged report. 

1Q8 



(c) The original over, short, and damaged report will be filed by the supply bureau, 
department, or division with the shipping ticket on which the claim is made. , 

(d) In the preparation of over, short, and damaged reports, cross reference should be 
made thereon to the original shipping ticket on which the shipment was received. 

{e) In the event that, as the. result of action on an over, short, and damaged report, 
neither the shipping depot nor the carrier acknowledges the claim, survey proceedings v/ill 
be instituted at once by the State to fix the responsibility. 

(/) In the event that a shipment from the property and disbursing officer to an organ- 
ization commander is received over, short, or damaged, the organization commander should 
prepare an over, short, and damaged report and submit same to the property and disbursing 
officer, who will either approve it or disapprove it and notify the organization commander 
accordingly. If disapproved by the property and disbursing officer, a report of survey 
should be prepared by the organization commander and forwarded to the property and 
disbursing officer, who will add thereto all information on the subject in his possession and 
submit same to the Chief, Militia Bureau. 

(Note. — Articles received and receipted for by the propert}^ and disbursing officer or 
organization commander are not necessarily in the amounts specified on the shipping ticket 
as shipped. The returned approved over, short, and damaged report is a clearance for 
the receiving officer for taking up the amount he actually received. The copy of the over, 
short, and damaged report retained by the shipping officer is his voucher for taking up or 
dropping the articles as the case may require.) 

O. S. and D. Report in Other Cases. Whenever it is discovered that public property 
has been lost, damaged, or destroyed in any manner other than in the course of shipment, an 
over, short, and damaged report shall be prepared and the necessary correction made on 
the property records of the officer concerned, so that his property records will show at all 
times the actual balance of property on hand. The over, short, and damaged report shall 
be considered as merely a temporary voucher supporting such entries. Necessary action 
to initiate a sun^ey, in order to fix responsibility for the loss, damage, or destruction, shall 
be immediately taken. (Par. 848, X. G. R., '22.)

D. 2. SURVEY REPORTS 

Procedure when Property in the hands of an Organization is Lost, Damaged 

or Destroyed 

Disposition and Replacement of Damaged Property, etc. All military property 
issued to the National Guard as herein provided shall remain the property of the United 
States. Whenever any such property issued to the National Guard in any State or Ter- 
ritory or the District of Columbia shall have been lost, damaged, or destroyed, or become 
unserviceable or unsuitable by use in service or from any other cause, it shall be examined 
by a disinterested surveying officer of the Regular Army or the National Guard, detailed 
by the Secretary of War, and the report of such surveying officer shall be forwarded to 
the Secretary of War, or to such officer as he shall designate to receive such reports; and 
if it shall appear to the Secretary of War from the record of survey that the property was 
lost, damaged, or destroyed through unavoidable causes, he is hereby authorized to relieve 
the State or Territory or the District of Columbia from further accountability therefor. If 
it shall appear that the loss, damage, or destruction of property was due to carelessness 
or neglect, or that its loss, damage, or destruction could have been avoided by the exercise 
of reasonable care, the money value of such property shall be charged to the accountable 
State, Territory, or District of Columbia, to be paid from State, Territory, or District funds, 
or any funds other than Federal. If the articles so surveyed are found to be unserviceable 
or unsuitable, the Secretary of War shall direct what disposition, by sale or otherwise, shall 
be made of them; and if sold, the proceeds of such sale, as well as stoppages against officers 
and enlisted men, and the net proceeds of collections made from any person or from any 
State, Territory, or District to reimburse the Government for the loss, damage, or destruc- 
tion of any property, shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States as a credit to 
said State, Territory, or the District of Columbia, accountable for said property, and as a 
part of and in addition to that portion of its allotment set aside for the purchase of similar 
supplies, stores, or material of war. Provided further, That if any State, Territory, or the 
District of Columbia shall neglect or refuse to pay, or to cause to be paid, the money equiva- 
lent of any loss, damage, or destruction of property charged against such State, Territory, 
or the District of Columbia by the Secretary of War after survey by a disinterested officer 
appointed, as hereinbefore provided, the Secretary of War is hereby authorized to debar 
such State, Territory, or the District of Columbia from further participation in any and all 
appropriations for the National Guard until such payment shall have been made. (Sec. 
87, N. D. A.) 

The net proceeds of the sale of condemned stores issued to the National Guard and not 
charged to State allotments shall be covered into the Treasury of the United States, as shall 
also stoppages against officers and enhsted men, and the net proceeds of collections made 
from any person to reimburse the Government for the loss, damage, or destruction of said 
property not charged against the State allotment issued for the use of the National Guard. 
(Sec. 88, N. D. A.) 

Action of Responsible Officer when Property is lost, etc. 

Whenever an officer of the National Guard who is responsible for United States prop- 
erty shall discover that any of such property has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, or has be- 
come unserviceable or unsuitable from use in service, or from any other cause, he should 
report immediately the fact, through proper military channels, to the adjutant general of the 
State in order that the action of a surveying officer may he had at the earliest practicable date. 
(Par. 849, N. G. R., '22.) 

The Responsible Officer should prepare 5 copies of Report of Survey (Form 196, A.G.O.) 
(complete with list of witnesses, affidavits, etc.), which he should forward to the State, 
Adjutant General with a request that the action of a surveying officer be had at the earliest 
practicable date. 

Note. — Survey Proceedings are covered in Par. 710-726, A. R., Par. 142, Special 
Regulations No. 57 and Pars. 842-856, N. G. R., '22. 

200 



The sample report here shiown shows only that part of the Report of Survey filled out 
by the Organization Commander. 

Condemnation of Property. 

Federal property in possession of States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, 
which has become unserviceable, is not subject to condemnation upon inventory and in- 
spection reports, but must be disposed of by survey proceedings. (Par. 847, N. G. R., '22.) 

When to ask for Survey. 

Action of a surveying officer or inspector for loss of or damage to public property will 
be requested by a responsible officer within 30 days after discovery of such condition, 
except in special circumstances, which will be explained by the officer in his certificate on 
page 2 of the report of survey. (Par. 723, A. R.) 

Appointment of Survey Officer.

ritory, or District of Columbia will be so detailed or appointed from the officers of the

the Regular Army detailed as instructor is available, by the detail of any available Regular 
Army officer. The detail or appointment as surveying officer an officer or officers of the 
National Guard or Regular Army on duty with the National Guard will not be changed 
except for reasons which appear to the War Department to be good and sufficient. 
Recommendations of officers of the National Guard for appointment as surveying officers 
of a State will be called for from time to time. An officer of the National Guard Reserve 
is not eligible for designation as a surveying officer. Opn. J. A. G., June 14, 1918.) (Par. 
845, N. G. R., '22.) 

Form to be used and Number of Copies. 

(a) Reports of surveying officers will be made out in quadrupUcate, on Form No. 196> 
A. G. O. (except in cases where a common carrier, or an individual other than the account- 
able officer is held responsible, when an original and five copies of the report will be prepared) 
and foru^arded to the adjutant general of the State, who will in turn forward same to the 
Chief, Militia Burea, with the recommendation of the governor thereon. 

(b) Erasures, interlineations, or other alterations in the written matter will be initialed 
by the officer making them. 

(c) The money total on each sheet in the column headed "Value" will be initialed by 
the responsible officer. (Par. 851, N. G. R., '22.) 

When Instituted by Organization. When survey proceedings are instituted by an 
organization commander, report of survey should be made out as requirecrby paragraph 
851, with the exception that an additional copy should be prepared and all copies forwarded 
to the property and disbursing officer. When final action on the report of survey shall have 
been taken, the original and one copy will be returned by the Militia Bureau to the property 
and disbursing officer, who will retain the copy and forward the original to the organization 
commander to serve as the latter's voucher. (Par. 865, N. G. R., '22.) 

Listing of Property. 

The property pertaining to different staff departments will not be listed on the same 
report of survey, separate reports being required for each class of property. (Par. 716, 
A. R.) 

Articles of engineer and ordnance property will be particularly classified for survey. 
(Par. 678, A. R.) 

Company Commander Initiates Proceedings. 

Officers responsible for property to be surveyed will in all cases furnish the surveying 
officer with original affidavits by themselves and by such witnesses as they may rely upon 

201 



to relieve them from responsibility, and sufficient duly atfested copies of such affidavits 
must accompany the report. (Par. 850, N. G. R., '22.) 

Signature on Certificates. 

When any property is included that has been lost, destroyed, or damaged by means 
other than fair wear and tear in the service, the facts will be sworn to as provided for on 
page 2 of the report of survey. If the oath is subscribed to by the responsible officer the 
certificate need not be accomplished. If the oath is subscribed to by any other individual 
than the responsible officer the laitter will accompHsh the certificate. In case only property 
rendered unserviceable through fair wear and tear in the service is listed on the report of 
survey, a certificate only will be accomplished by the responsible officer; but the surveying 
officer will exercise great care in examining such property and will state in his findings 
whether he found its unserviceable condition to be due to fair wear and tear in the service. 
If he finds this not to be the case, he must fix the responsibility for such damage or loss 
upon the proper party. (Par. 682, Army Regs.) 

Entries on Form. 

When preparing the report of survey the initiating officer will enter quantity, name of 
article, and money value. Column B (Disposition) will be filled out by the surveying 
officer, using the abbreviations "D" (to be destroyed), "I" (to be held for inspection), 
"S" (to salvage officer), "C" (to be continued in the service). In column C will be entered 
items for which credit may be taken. In the column headed "Date and circumstances", 
the initiating officer will enter the date and a statement of the circumstances attending the 
loss, damage, or destruction of the articles surveyed, and, in the case of ordnance stores, the 
date of receipt. The statement must he sufficient to indicate the circumstances of loss or 
damage. The initiating officer will enter in the report of survey on the third line from the 
top the kind of property account upon which the property is carried, e. g., "Property Loan 
Record," or "Individual Equipment Record," of "Co. A, 65th Inf."; at the bottom he will 
enter after the word voucher the kind of property account. (Par. 711, Army Regs.) 

Evidence required. 

A surveying officer should elicit all evidence obtainable and should not limit his in- 
quiries to affidavits or statements presented by interested parties, especially in cases of 
alleged theft or embezzlement, and he should not recommend the relief of officers or 
soldiers from responsibility unless fully satisfied that those charged with the care of the 
property have performed their whole duty in regard to it. He should hear in person or by 
deposition all persons concerned. Before relief from accountability will be granted on 
account of th^loss or theft of small arms, conclusive evidence mu^t be supmitted with the 
report that every possible precaution had been taken for their safe-keeping. Evidence 
will be presented also to show what steps were taken for the recovery of lost or stolen 
property. (Par. 852, N. G. R., '22.) 

Evidence in Case of Theft. 

It will devolve upon the responsible person to furnish original certificates and affidavits 
to support his contention that he be relieved of the responsibility, , together with such 
attested copies of certificates and affidavits as must accompany the survey. Where docu- 
mentary evidence is submitted it will be marked "Exhibit A," "Exhibit B," etc.. It will 
be so noted and referred to by the survejdng officer in his report. All documentary evidence 
will be fastened between pages 2 and 3 of the report of. survey. Where theft and embezzle- 
ment is involved the claim must be supported with special care. In every case all pertinent 
evidence must be made available so that the surveying officer will not be dependent upon 
the statements of interested parties; this is particularly necessary when, under paragraphs 
683 and 685, Army Regulations, the officer is directly involved, whether the cause is avoid- 
able or unavoidable. (Pars. A. R.)

Evidence in Case of Small Arms. 

When a survey is made on the loss of small arms the report must show, under "Date 
and circumstances," whether or not the arms were stored at the time of their loss in arm 
racks or lockers furnished by the Ordnance Department for their safe keeping or were being 
used at the time in the performance of military duty. In all cases the report must show 
clearly whether or not every reasonable precaution was taken to prevent the loss. (Par. 
302M,C.ofO. 1916Supl.) 

Previous Condemnation. When property is presented to a surveying officer for 
condemnation, the officer responsible will certify in the inventory that the property has not 
been previously condemned. (Par. 861, N. G. R., '22.) 

When the property has been previously surveyed, a statement to this effect will be 
included under "Date and circumstances" so that the surveying officer may consider pre- 
vious reports of survey. (Par. 711, A. R.) 

Infected Clothing. Clothing infected with contagious diseases may be destroyed 
prior to the action of a surveying officer, provided the necessity for such destruction is 
certified to by a competent physician or medical officer cognizant of the facts. Such 
certificate should set forth the facts and be made part of the subsequent survey proceedings. 
(Par. 866, N. G. R., '22.)' 

Survey of Public Animals. When horses purchased from Federal funds become 
unserviceable a survey will be prepared and forwarded to the Chief of the Militia Bureau 
for the action of the Secretary of War: (Par. 980, N. G. R., '22.) 

Survey on Death of Public Animals. When condemned Regular Army animals 
issued to the National Guard, and animals purchased from Federal funds, die or are killed 
to terminate suffering or to prevent contagion a survey report and the certificates or affi- 
davits required by Army Regulations, will be forwarded to the Chief of the MiUtia 
Bureau. When such animals become unfit for further use a survey report will be prepared 
and forwarded to the Chief of the Militia Bureau for the action of the Secretary of War. 
(Par. 981, N. G, R., '22.) 

Action of Survey Officer. 

The report of the surveying officer should show in detail opposite each article on his 
report in what respect the article is unserviceable or unsuitable. It will also indicate in 
each case, for the guidance of the Secretary of War, the disposition which, in his opinion, 
should be made of said property. Should the surveying officer recommend the sale of the 
property, the recommendation will state whether by auction or by inviting bids from 
dealers or others Hkely to purchase said articles and will give reasons therefor. (Par. 853, 
N. G. R, '22). In case any public property is rendered unserviceable through causes other 
than the ordinary incidents of service, the surveying officer should investigate fully the cir- 
cumstances, report the facts, and if possible, fix the personal responsibility therefor. 
(Par. 857, N. G. R., '22.) 

Favorable Action on Survey Proceedings. If it appears from such report that 
the property was lost, damaged, or destroyed, or became unserviceable or unsuitable, as 
a result of unavoidable causes, and that reasonable and proper care was exercised by the 
State to safeguard and protect the property concerned from loss, damage, or destruction, 
one copy of the report will be returned by the Chief of the MiUtia Bureau to the property 
and disbursing officer for the United States in the State through the Adjutant General 
thereof, with authority to drop the articles enumerated thereon from his property records 
and with instructions as to their disposition, by sale or otherwise. (Par. 862, N. G. R., 
'22.) 

Certificate to Destruction of Condemned Property. If ordered destroyed, a 
certificate to the effect that the articles were destroyed in his presence will be furnished by 

205 



a disinterested officer of the National Guard, or by an officer of the Regular Army on duty 
with the National Guard of the State, and this certificate will be attached to the copy of 
the report of survey used as a voucher for dropping the property. For disposition of pro- 
ceeds of sale of condemned property see paragraphs 756 and 757. (Par. 864, N. G. R., '22.) 

Adverse Action on Survey Proceedings. If it appears from the report of a sur- 
veying officer that the property was lost, damaged, or destroyed as a result of avoidable 
causes and that reasonable care was not exercised by the State, Territory, to safeguard 
and protect the property concerned from loss, damage, or destruotioh, the adjutant 
general of the State will be so notined and directed to forward the necessary funds to cover 
the cost of the property. (Par. 863, N. G. R., '22.) 

Responsibility of Company Officers. The responsibility of officers of the National 
Guard for damage to, loss, theft, or destruction of United States property issued to them 
by the property and disbursing officer for the United States in the State, must be deter- 
mined by the proper authority in each State. The War Department, holds the State 
responsible for the payment of such charges as may be made for loss, damage, destruction, 
or theft of United States property, and under the law can look only to the State for pay- 
ment. (Par. 805, N. G. R., '22.) 



D. 3. STATEMENT OF CHARGES 

Charges against Officers and Enlisted Men for Damage, etc., of Federal 

Property 

If an article of United States property issued to the National Guard of a State, Territory, 
or the District of Columbia be lost, damaged, or destroyed by the negligence or fault of an 
officer or enlisted man thereof , he should pa^/ the value thereof or the cost of repairs necessary 
to place the article in serviceable condition. The amount so charged the officer or enlisted 
man if not collected directly should be entered on the pay roll against any pay that may be 
due him or may subsequently become due him, the said amount being entered on the roll 
opposite the name of the officer or enlisted man so charged, but the amount so charged 
should not exceed the value of the article or cost of repairs, and only on conclusive proof 
the officer or enlisted man being informed at the time of sign'ng the roll that his signature 
will be regarded as an acknowledgment of the justice of the charge. (Par. 858, N. G. Fl., 
'22.) 

Articles to be charged against officers or enlisted men on the pay rolls of the organiza- 
tion should be entered on a Statement of Charges (Form^ 602, A. G. O.). At the end of the 
period to which' the Statement of Charge pertains it should be filed as a voucher to the 
property records for the inform^ation of the auditor upon his next visit after which it may 
be destroyed. (See par. 160, Special Regulations, 57.) 

Collection in Cash. 

If a cash collection is made, the money must be deposited with the P, &.D. officer who 
will transmit it to the proper officer and a copy of his receipt v/ill be attached to the state- 
ment of charges. . , 

Statement of charges, Form No. 602, A. G. O. — a. (1) If an article of public 
property is lost or dam.aged through fault or neglect of an officer or enlisted man he will pay 
the value thereof or the cost of repairs at such rate as may be determined by a survey of the

or cost of repair's will be charged to him.

tached to the over, short, and damaged reports. (Par. 877, N. G. R., '22.) 



208

By whom made. The auditing of property accounts shall be controlled by finance 
oflScers of corps areas under the direction of the commanders of such areas. Corps area 
commanders shall cause the various property and disbursing officers and National Guard 
organization commanders within their respective areas to be visited at irregular intervals 
and their property records to be audited. Property and disbursing officers and organiza- 
tion commanders shall afford every facility at the armories, storerooms, and offices to 
enable the property auditors to make thorough and complete audits in all cases. (Par. 
906, N. G. R., '22.)

to him through the property and disbursing officer and the certificate of audit of the property 
and disbursing officer's accounts wdll be forwarded to him through the adjutant general of 
the State. If the audit is made at the time of a transfer, an additional copy of the certifi- 
cate of audit will be furnished to the officer to whom the property is being transferred. 

If through failure to maintain proper records or any other cause it should be imprac- 
ticable to audit an account at the time of an auditor 's^visit for that purpose or if any irregu- 
larities or failure to comply with the instructions and regulations with regard to the care 
and accounting for property are observed by the auditor, he will report the same to the 
corps area commander, furnishing the officer whose accounts are being audited with a copy 
of the report through the adjutant general of the State and forwarding one copy to the 
Chief of Finance and one copy to the Chief, Militia Bureau. (Par. 908, N. G. R., '22.) 

Remedy of Discrepancies in Property Account. On receipt by an officer of a 
copy of certificate of audit, Finance Form 0-12, or other report of a property auditor show^- 
ing a discrepancy in his account or other irregularity as indicated above, he will immediately 
take steps to adjust such discrepancies and forward a report of the action taken by him to 
the corps area commander through the adjutant general of the State. (Par. 909, N. G. R., 
'22.) 

Action on Discrepancies. On receipt by a corps area commander of a report of 
action taken to adjust discrepancies, he will forr^'ard same to the Chief of Finance, indicating 
by indorsement thereon vrhether the action taken is adequate in his opinion to properly 
correct the discrepancy or irregularity found and making recommendation for any further 
action required on the part of the War Department. The Chief of Finance will transmit

N. G. R., '22.) 

Action if Discrepancies are not Adjusted. When a report of irregularities or 
discrepancies in a property account has been received by a property and disbursing officer 
and necessary corrections are not made within three months from date of such report or no 
satisfactory statement of the steps being taken to remedy such discrepancies furnished, the 
facts will be reported to the Secretary of War in order that no more issues of military stores 
may be made to that State until the errors or irregularities have been corrected or satis- 
factorily explained. (Par. 911, N. G. R., '22.)

E. CARE AND PRESERVATION OF PROPERTY 

Lack of Care not tolerated. 

Lack of proper care of Federal property will not be tolerated, and any loss, damage, or 
destruction of such property by reason of carelessness or lack of proper attention will result 
in the States concerned being charged with the value thereof, and the law which requires 
that such losses must be paid from State or personal funds will be strictly enforced. (Par. 
794, N. G. R., '22.) 

Protection from Fire. 

Reasonable care as far as protection from fire is concerned will be considered as having 
been exercised only when every possible precaution in this regard has been employed. * * * 
(Par. 796, N. G. R., '22.) 

Fire protection for all buildings in which material is stored, or horses kept, should be 
of the best, as the cost of Government property involved warrants the greatest care. (Cir. 
Let. No. 47, M. B., Aug. 6, 1920.) 

Disposition of Empty Cases. For regulations concerning the disposition of empty 
cartridge cases, empty packing boxes, bandoleers, and clips, derived from the expenditure 
of small-arms ammunition issued to the National Guard by the Ordnance Department, see 
paragraphs 900 and 901, National Guard Regulations, 1922, and also Circular Letter No. 
No. 32, M. B., May 6, 1921. (on page 179 of this volume). (Par. 476, N.G.R., '22.) 

The Loss of Small Arms. The loss of small arms, particularly revolvers, by the 
National Guard follows in a large measure from the failure to effectively secure this class 
of property from theft. When small arms are not in the possession of enlisted men for the 
performance of military duty, they are required to be locked in the arm racks or the arm 
lockers. The arm racks are intended for the safekeeping of the small arms in daily use by 
the organizations to which they have been issued, and the arm lockers for such arms as are 
not required to be issued frequently to enlisted men. (Par. 797, N. G R., '22.) 

When for any reason troops in the field are not permitted to be armed at all times, 
responsible officers will have the pistols safe guarded under conditions that will prevent 
their loss. (Par. 798, N. G. R., '22.) 

Safe Keeping of Small Arms, etc. 

Small arms, saddle blankets, time-interval recorders, cartridge cases, and small stores 
of like character, being articles of property which may be readily disposed of, accountable 
and responsible officers are required to take every possible precaution for their safe keeping. 
(Par. 809, N. G. R., '22.) 

The National Guard of the several States is required to have the arm racks and arm 
lockers supplied by the Ordnance Department on hand for the safekeeping of the small 
arms issued to them and to see that every possible precaution is taken in this respect. 
(Par. 799, N. G. R., '22.) 

Reasonable care will not be considered as having been exercised in the safe keeping of 
small arms and ammunition and their protection against loss, theft, or damage unless every 
possible precaution in this regard has been employed. The employment of watchmen or 
caretakers is essential in order to properly guard against losses of !his character. (Par. 794 
and 803, N. G. R., '22.) 

Storage of Property. 

The several States, are required to provide suitable armories for the safe keeping of 
property of the United States issued to them. (Par. 800, N. G. R., '22.) 

Organizations of the National Guard, unless they are serving in the field, are required 
to store the property issued to them in the armories provided for the purpose. (Par. 801, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

The keys of storerooms or chests will not be intrusted to enlisted men or civilians with- 
out great vigilance on the part of the accountable or responsible officer and a resort to every 

212 



possible and reasonable precaution, including frequent inspections, to prevent loss or dam- 
age. (Par. 808, N. G. R., '22.) 

In view of the injurious effect of moisture and dust on the lenses of optical instruments 
such as range finders, field glasses, types C and EE, etc., they are required to be kept or 
stored under such conditions as will insure as much freedom from moisture and dust as 
can be obtained. (Par. 810, N. G. R., '22.) 

Whenever any property is lost destroyed, stolen, or rendered unserviceable or unsuit- 
able by reason of the fact that it has not been stored properly or that reasonable and proper 
care has not been exercised in regard to its safety or preservation, the United States con- 
siders that the State is responsible, under the terms of the law, for such loss, destruction, 
theft, unserviceability, or unsuitability. (Par. 795, N. G. R., '22.) 

Care Exercised for Safety of Property. 

Reasonable care cannot be considered as having been exercised for the safety of prop- 
erty when it appears that the loss, damage, destruction, or theft thereof was due to careless- 
ness, willful neglect, or the failure to exercise ordinary foresight. (Par. 804, N. G. R., '22.) 

Property in the Hands of Unauthorized Persons. 

Whenever information is received that animals or other property belonging to the 
United States are unlawfully in the possession of any person the adjutant general will 
promptly cause proceedings to be instituted and dihgently prosecuted before the court au- 
thorities for the recovery of the property, and, if the same has been stolen, for the arrest, 
trial, conviction, and due punishment of the offender and his accomplices. (Par. 806, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Upon satisfactory information that any United States property unlawfully in the pos- 
session of any parties is likely to be taken away, concealed, or otherwise disposed of before 
the necessary proceedings can be had in the civil tribunals for its recovery, the nearest U. S. 
District Attorney will be notified. Persons caught in the act of stealing United States 
property will be summarily arrested and turned over to the civil authorities for trial. 
(Par. 807, N. G. R., '22.) 

Care and Repair of Property. 

The various articles of ordnance property which are issued to the National Guard for 
the care and preservation of ordnance and ordnance stores are described in ordnance price 
lists and in pamphlets descriptive of the ordnance and ordnance stores for which the parts 
and suppHes are required. In addition, these pamphlets and other manuals generally give 
detailed instructions in regard to the care and preservation of the articles described and 
referred to therein, and such instructions are made a part of these regulations. (Par. 885, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

An officer in charge of United States property in use or in store will endeavor by timely 
repairs to keep it in serviceable condition. (Par. 835, N. G. R., '22.) 

Repair of Ordnance Material at Station. Whenever any ordnance material is in 
need of repairs requiring the services of skilled mechanics of the Ordnance Department, the 
commanding officer of the organization will submit, through military channels, to the 
adjutant general of the State, a report describing in detail the character and extent of the 
repairs required and the cause of the damaged condition of each article. The adjutant gen- 
eral of the State, if the making of the repairs is approved by him, will forward the report 
directly to the corps area commander, with request that the repairs be made by the Ord- 
nance Department, and their cost charged to the allotment to the State for that purpose 
under section 67 of the National Defense Act, provided sufficient unobligated funds remain 
to the credit of the State for that purpose. Upon receipt of such request the ordnance 
officer in charge will, by communication with the commanding officer of the organization, 
arrange for making the repairs at a convenient time, and inform the commanding officer of 
the organization of the probable nimaber of men that will be required to assist the mechanic 
designated to make the repairs. The repairs generally will be made by skilled mechanics of 

213 



the Ordnance Department sent for the purpose, although if desired by the battery com- 
mander and approved by the ordnance officer, the work may be performed by the battery- 
mechanic. If done by ordnance mechanics, the latter will report their arrival and departure 
in person to the commanding officer of the organization, who m the absence of an officer 
of the Ordnance Department, wdll supervise the w^ork done by the mechanics, keep a record 
of the number of hours' w^ork each day for each mechanic, and upon completion of the 
repairs will forward the time record to the ordnance officer in charge, with a statement 
showing the date and hour of arrival and departure of each mechanic and the manner in 
which he conducted himself while on duty. (Par. 886, N. G. R., '22.) 

Hire of Labor. In case it should be impracticable for the commanding officer of the 
organization to furnish men to assist the mechanic or mechanics, the necessary labor will be 
employed by the corps area ordnance officer and the cost thereof charged against the allot- 
ment to the State, provided sufficient unobligated funds are available. (Par. 887, N. G. R., 
'22.) 

When ordnance property can not be repaired within the organization or with the 
facilities available to the department or corps area ordnance officer, it will be shipped to 
such arsenal as the corps area ordnance officer may direct, approval being first obtained 
from the Chief, Militia Bureau, by the adjutant general of the State. (Par. 888, N. G .R., 
'22.) 

All materials, tools, and supplies required in making repairs or alterations will be 
shipped to the commanding officer of the organization, who will be charged with their safe- 
keeping, and who will immediately report their arrival to the corps area ordnance officer. 
(Par. 889, N. G. R., '22.) 

When necessary to ship materials, tools, or supplies to any organization for use in 
making repairs, or to ship any parts to an arsenal for repairs, that can not be made at the 
station of the organization, the shipment will be made under instructions from the ordnance 
officer of the corps area in which the organization is located. Optical instrmnents and other 
delicate instruments will be shipped by express, but all other shipments will be made by 
freight, except that mechanics' tools may be shipped by express w^hen especially authorized 
by the corps area ordnance officer. (Par. 890, N. G. R., '22.) 

Inspection of Ordnance Material, Field and Coast Artillery. The ordnance 
officer of the department or corps area will inspect the ordna^^ce material in the hands of the 
National Guard once a year, and at such other times as the corps area commander may 
direct, or upon request from the adjutant general of the State, such material may also be 
inspected at any time by a representative of the Chief of Ordnance, the above authorized 
inspections being limited to available funds. In any case where conditions make such 
action preferable, the corps area ordnance officer may send one of his commissioned or 
civilian assistants to inspect in his stead. (Par. 881, N. G. R., '22.) 

Upon receipt of orders to inspect the field artillery materiel in the possession of any 
State the inspecting officer will notify, through the commanding general of the depart- 
ment, the adjutant general of the State of his designation for the duty and the date 
upon which the materiel of each battery or headquarters organization will be inspected by 
him. At each inspection all ordnance materiel issued to an organization by the United 
Stetes will be examined and maneuvered in such manner as will enable the inspecting 
officer to fully determine its condition. Whenever practicable, not to exceed two 
rounds will be fired from each field gun by the inspecting officer, the ammunition for this 
purpose being furnished by the United States. Commanding officers organizations and 
officials of the States should render such assistance as may be required by the inspecting 
officer in the performance of his duty, including the furnishing of details of men that ma}'' 
be needed for maneuvering, firing, dismounting, and assembhng the materiel. (Par. 882, 
N. G. R., '22.) 



214 



Upon completion of the inspection of each organization the inspecting officer will sub- 
mit a report in duplicate on the prescribed form to the Chief of Ordnance and the Chief 
of the Militia Bureau for reference through the adjutant general of the State to the com- 
manding officer of the organization for the information of the latter, and for such action 
by the National Guard authorities as may be necessary in each case. The report will 
state in detail the condition of all parts of the ordnance equipment, and if defective in any 
way the character and extent of the repairs required and the causes of the defective condition 
of the equipment. (Par. 884, N. G. R., '22.) 

Instruction in Care of Battery Equipment. 

When a complete equipment of field artillery materiel is received by an}'" battery of the 
National Guard, the commanding officer of the battery will promptly notify the adjutant 
general of the State, who in turn will report its receipt to the Chief of the Militia Bureau, 
in order that an officer of the Army may be sent by the War Department to instruct the 
personnel of the battery in the care, preservation, and use of the materiel. (Par. 883, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Care of Field Artillery Ammunition. In all cases where proper and safe storage 
is not provided for the powders and ammunition issued Field Artillery organizations as 
initial allowance, steps should be taken at once to have such powder and ammunition of all 
character sent to a State Arsenal or other designated place within the State for proper 
storage in a State magazine, which insures protection to the ammunition, and so con- 
structed or located that in case of accident, adjoining buildings would not be damaged 
by the force of an explosion. (Cir. Let. No. 40, M. B., June 11, 1921.) 

CARE AND REPAIR OF BAND INSTRUMENTS 

Care of Wood wind Instruments. 

1. A wood wind instrument is a complicated piece of mechanism and requires the 
same care as any delicate piece of machinery. 

2. The best treatment for a new instrument is to use it sparingly at first, say every 
other day, wiping carefully after use. A small wet sponge should be kept in the case; this 
will moisten the wood on the outside, preventing it from shrinking. 

3. The instrument should be oiled inside and outside at least once a week with a 
shght application of almond oil. It helps to keep the instrument clean, prevents the rot- 
ting of the wood, and from experience it is found that the instrument blows more smoothly 
and gives a richer tone. Care should be taken that the oil does not come in contact with 
the pads, as they will swell, rot, and cause air escapement. 

4. All pads should be at least one-eighth of an inch from the keyholes, as they will 
otherwise draw the water into the holes. 

5. If there is a keyhole that continually draws water, a small coating of vaseline 
should be applied inside the hole. This will prevent the water from entering. 

6. The sudden exposure of any wood wind instrument to cold or heat should be 
avoided, as this is the chief cause of cracking. 

7. It is impossible to obviate entirely the shrinkage and change of the wood. New 
wood often shrinks to such a degree as to put the key action entirely out of order. Such 
condition does not necessarily place the instrument out of commission. By removing the 
keys and carefully filing the posts or key shafting, all binding can be eliminated. Such 
work, however, should be done by an expert. 

8. Should the keys stick, through neglect, the use of a screwdriver and a little oil 
(Three in One) for a few minutes on the screws and springs will undoubtedly remedy the 
difficulty. 

9. If the joint rings become loose they can be forced on with a Kttle paper under them. 
If this does not suffice, the ends should be placed in water two or three hours. This treat- 
ment also applies to bell rings. 

215 



10. A wood instrument, if not played on, will never crack no matter to what treat- 
ment it may be subjected, outside the use of force. The cause of cracking in most cases is 
that, when playing, the instrument is warm. This causes it to shrink on the outside and the 
saliva on the inside swells the wood, thus creating two forces opposed to each other. The 
inside moisture being stronger, the dry outside naturally gives way causing a crack. 

11. It is extremely important that the barrel joint on a clarinet be kept loose and free, 
When a clarinet cracks, it usually does so in the upper joint, due to the fact that the barrel 
joint was allowed to set tight on the instrument. 

12. After using, the bore and all joints should be wiped free from water. Three-in- 
One oil is good for keys. A little oil on a rag apphed to the keys occasionally will also help 
to keep them clean and bright. Wood wind instruments should never be subjected to 
sudden changes of temperature. 

13. All joints on flutes and piccolos should be thoroughly greased and the head joint 
stopper so lubricated as to make it movable at all times. Many flutists fail to recognize the 
importance of the stopper and are not cognizant of the fact that the correct tuning of all 
tones in the extreme high register is made by shifting this little accessory. 

14. No guarantee can be given by anyone that wood wind instruments will not crack; 
much can be done, however, to prevent cracking. 

Care of Saxophones. 

1. Cork on mouth pipe extension should be kept well greased at all times. When 
placing mouthpiece on pipe, great care should be taken not to wrench or strain mouthpiece 
in such manner as would cause it to become unserviceable. 

2. In placing and removing mouthpiece from instrument, care should be taken to 
observe that the set-screw which holds mouthpiece in place, is loosened before each opera- 
tion. 

3. All screws and long shaftings which hold key mechanism in place should be cleaned 
and oiled at least once a week. 

4. Springs should be looked over daily and, where rust is found, removal thereof 
should begin at once. Emery cloth has been found very useful for this work. Springs 
should be oiled frequently. 

5. Slow key action is very often attributed to a weak spring. When such is the case, 
a satisfactory stiiffening can often be had by carefully bending the springs back in an opposite 
direction from which the key operates. If this is not found satisfactory, spring replace- 
ment becomes necessary. 

6. Knocks and other disagreeable noises often appearing in key action can be corrected 
by replacement of cork padding under keys and levers. When action requires regulating, 
which condition is often brought about by wearing of key shafting, same can be accomplished 
by slightly moving inwardly posts to which keys are adjusted. Care, however, must be 
taken not to wTench posts loose from their sockets. Where shafting is worn to an appre- 
ciable degree, a small washer placed on the pin between shafting posts has often been found 
satisfactory. 

7. Instruments should always be cleaned after using. This apphes particularly to 
the mouthpiece. 

CARE OF BRASS INSTRUMENTS 

1. The mouthpiece should never be jammed into the mouthpiece branch. To do so, 
often results in split tubing. All valve slides, tuning slides, and other accessories required 
for adjustment of pitch should be kept in working order by using grease which is issued for 
this purpose. 

2. The use of chisels, phers or other metal instruments in removing finger buttons 
and valve caps, top or bottom, should be avoided. When valve caps stick, due to corrosion 
or other causes not produced by accident, the instrument should be placed in a position 
where hot water can be run over the cap. This application for a new minutes will cause 
the cap to loosen up, removal of which can then be easily accompKshed. 

216 



3. No violence should be manifested in trying to remove valves that stick. To do so, 
destroys absolutely further use of the instrument. Application of hot water, as noted 
for valve caps, will in all cases produce the desired results. Valves should be removed and 
cleaned at least once a week. Care must be taken, however, not to use any substance that 
will cause friction, as to scratch a valve in the minutest way often causes it to stick and 
produce untold trouble. 

4. When an instrument is to be laid away for any length of time, valve caps should be 
greased and a little oil, No. 2, which is issued by the Quartermaster Corps, rubbed on the 
valves, so that the instrument will be in working order when again called into service. 

5. Instruments should be kept clean. A five percent solution of carboHc acid run 
through the tubing at certain periods will prove a great cleanser and sweeten up the instru- 
ment. No person, except the one habitually using the instrument should be permitted to 
use the mouthpiece. Failure to observe this rule often causes sore lips and other ailments. 
(Cir. Let. No. 8, M. B., Feb. 3, 1921.') 

E— 3. MARKING PROPERTY 

Marking Personal Equipment. Personal equipment stencils are no longer items 
of issue. These have been supplanted by metal tags for marking personal equipment. 

The markings to be applied to individual equipment for the purpose of identification, 
as prescribed in paragraphs 257 and 295, Army Regulations, are indicated as follows: 

1. Bayonet and bolo scabbards and similar articles are marked by means of the steel 
dies issued with the outfit for marking metal, the letters being placed upon the aluminum 
bushing at the mount of the scabbard, a slight interval being left between the company 
letter and the soldier's company number. 

2. Textile articles of equipment are marked by means of a small metal tag, with three 
projecting prongs, which are to be inserted through the fabric and clamped securely over 
the washer. 

3. For piercing the three holes in the fabric through which the prongs of the tag are 
inserted, there will be issued upon requisition, a perforating punch and metal-marking outfit, 
model of 1910. Any organization already in possession of such marking outfit will be 
issued the punch, upon requisition. This punch is so manufactured that it has three pro- 
jecting Hps that correspond to the three prongs on the tag. The equipment to be marked 
is to be placed on a wooden block and three holes punched into the fabric with the perforat- 
ing punch, after which the tag can be easily inserted. 

4. The present anvil issued with the marking outfit can be used as a base upon which 
to mark the tag after three holes, .1364 inches in diameter, have been bored in one end of 
the anvil to correspond to the three prongs on the metal tag. Before fastening the tag to 
the equipment it is to be placed on the anvil and in the space left for this purpose on the tag 
the company letter and the soldier's company number, with a slight space left between, are 
to be stamped by means of the steel dies issued with the metal marking outfit. 

5. The location of the tags on the equipment should correspond as nearly as possible 
to the exact position where the equipment was marked by the old stencil method. The 
tags should not be attached to articles of equipment in the same place, if the stencil was on 
the inside and did not show. Such places where the stencil was on the inside, the tag should 
be reversed and shown on the outside, as the appearance of the tag is more desirable than 
the washer. An example of this is as follows: On the garrison belt for enlisted men the 
stencil was on the inside and no marking showed. If the tag were placed on the inside of 
the belt and the prongs pierced the fabric and clamped over the washer, the washer and 
prongs would show on the outside of the belt, which is not to be desired. The tag should 
be placed on the outside of the belt and the washer on the inside, next to the man's uniform. 
(Cir. Let. No. 46, July 28, 1920.) 

Marking Motor Vehicles. In order to prevent their confusion with those in federal 
service, and in order to insure identification in case of accident, ail motor vehicles issued to 

217 



the several States for the use of the National Guard will be plainly marked immediately 
on receipt in such a manner as to preclude all possibility of mistake as to where thej'' belong. 
The mark will consist of a circle approximately seven inches in diameter circumscribing the 
approved abbreviation of the State named placed above the letters "N. G.", and this 
identifying symbol will be so placed on each vehicle as to be plainly discernible at a distance 
of at least thirty feet. (Cir. Let. No. 43, M. B., June 21, 1921.) 



218 



4 — CARE TAKERS AND OTHER PERMANENT PERSONNEL 
Helpers for Public Animals. 

Competent enlisted men may be detailed as helpers for each troop of cavalry, each 
horse drpAvn battery and each headquarters or service battery of field artillery, each 
engineer company or headquarters detachment, engineer regiment, each ambulance com- 
pany, each signal company, each Howitzer Compaay, and each machine-gun troop and 
company of the National Guard by the company commander, for the care of the materiel 
and equipment and of the animals for which supplies are furnished from Federal funds, in 
a troop, a batter}'-, a company, a squadron headquarters, a battalion headquarters, or a 
regimental headquarters. The men detailed as helpers must be duly enlisted in the com- 
pany in which they are detailed, and may hold any grade or appointment pertaining to 
enlisted men in the organization to which they belong. At least one of the helpers in 
each battery must be skilled in the use of tools and must be familiar w^ith the materiel and 
its repair and preservation, and one helper in each organization must be a qualified horse- 
shoer. Where no helper so qualified can be obtained shoeing for the authorized horses of 
the organization will be paid from Federal funds, in which case the vouchers must be 
accompanied by a certificate from the organization commander to the effect that it was 
impossible to obtain a qualified member of the organization to do the work. All helpers must 
understand stable duties and the care and training of horses. (Par. 938, N. G. R., '22.) 

Compensation of Helpers. 

Allotments will be made to the Property and Disbursing Officer of the State, from the 
appropriation under the Act of Congress, to compensate the men detailed for the care of 
animals, material and equipment, which are furnished from Federal funds, for each unit 
supplied with animals, not to exceed five men in each unit, at a monthly rate not to exceed : 

A unit having 1 animal or less than 6 $ 75. 00 

A unit having from 6 to 11 animals inclusive 150. 00 

A unit having from 12 to 17 animals inclusive 225. 00 

A unit having from 18 to 24 animals inclusive 300. 00 

A unit having from 25 to 32 animals inclusive 375. 00 

For a battery of horse drawn Field Artillery an allowance of $75.00, in addition to 
the above for the care of the battery materiel issued to the battery. (Par. 939, N. G. R., 
'22.) 

When the animals of several units are grouped in one stable, the allowance of helpers 
will be the same as for a single unit having the number of animals in the group. When the 
number of animals so grouped exceed 32, the allowance will be increased by $75.00 per 
month for each 8 animals in excess of 32. Provided that the number of animals so grouped 
together does not exceed the authorized number for the combined units; and, Provided 
further that no unit will be permitted to maintain at Government expense, more than its 
authorized number of animals. When animals are issued to a Headquarters troop of 
Cavalry or a headquarters or service battery of Field Artillery, no allowance of animals 
will be made for regimental or battalion headquarters of the regiment to which the head- 
quarters troop or battery belong. Each battery of Field Artillery, whether the animals of 
the organization are stabled separately or grouped with animals of other organizations, is 
entitled to the allowance of ^75. 00 per month for the care of the battery materiel from the 
date of receipt of the materiel by the battery." (Par. 940, N. G. R., '22.) 

Motor Mechanics for motorized organizations. 

1. In order to properly care for the materiel, motor vehicles and equipment of 
Artillery batteries, Hospital companies, Ambulance Companies, and tank companies of the 
National Guard, competent enlisted men may be detailed as motor mechanics and assistant 
motor mechanics for the purpose of repairing, cleaning, painting and caring for motor 
vehicles, materiel, and equipment furni.shed from Federal funds. The men so detailed 
should be skilled in the use of tools and the upkeep of motors and artillery materiel. They 

219 



must be duly enlisted in the Company in which they are detailed, and may hold any grade 
or appointment pertaining to enHsted men in the organization to which they belong. 

2. For this purpose allowances will be made at a monthly rate not to exceed : 

For a headquarters battery of artillery, a service battery of artillery, a headquarters 
detachment and combat train, an ammunition train, infantry division, a transport com- 
pany, corps artillery ammunition train, a machine-gun company of antiaircraft artillery, a 
hospital company, an ambulance company — one motor mechanic per organization at SI 50. 

For a battery of artillery, a searchlight battery of antiaircraft artillery, a tank com- 
pany, one motor mechanic at $150, one assistant motor mechanic at S130. 

3. No men will receive pay from Federal funds as motor mechanics or assistant motor 
mechanics unless motor vehicles, materiel and equipment have beem issued to the organ- 
ization in which they are detailed. 

4. The assistant motor mechanics should be particularly charged with the care of, 
repair and upkeep of the artillery materiel. 

5. Motor mechanics and assistant motor mechanics are expected to give not to exceed 
eight hours work per working day, exclusive of the prescribed drill and instruction hours 
with their organizations. 

6. The use of tools, spare parts, materiel and supplies furnished from Federal funds, 
for the repair or upkeep of other than Government-owned vehicles is strictly prohibited. 
(Par. 987, N. G. R., '22.) 

Airplane Mechanics in Air Units, (a) In order to properly care for the aircraft, 
engines, motor transport, and radio equipment of Air Service squadrons of the National 
Guard, competent enlisted men may be detailed as airplane mechanics and assistant air- 
plane mechanics, for the purpose of maintaining the equipment furnished from Federal 
funds. The men so detailed must be skilled in the use of tools and experienced in the main- 
tenance of aircraft. They must be duly enlisted in the squadron in which they are detailed 
and may hold any grade or appointment pertaining to enlisted men in the organization to 
which they belong. 

For this purpose, allowances v/ili be made at a monthly rate not to exceed: 
For an Air Service squadron, one airplane mechanic expert at aircraft engine mainten- 
ance at S150, one airplane mechanic expert at airplane rigging and upkeep at $150, one air- 
plane mechanic expert at radio installation, operation, and upkeep at $150, two assistant 
airplane mechanics skilled in engine and airpiane maintenance at $130 each. 

(b) No men will receive pay from Federal funds as airplane mechanics or assistant air- 
plane mechanics unless aircraft and aircraft material is actually issued and is used by the 
organization to which they are detailed for drill and instruction. 

(c) Airplane mechanics and assistant airplane mechanics are expected to give eight

for the upkeep or repair of other than Government owned equipment is strictly prohibited. 

(e) In connection with the employment of airplane mechanics and assistant airplane 
mechanics, the provisions of paragraphs 942, 955, 957, 962, 974, and 976 will also govern. 
(Par. 988, N. G. R., '22.) 

Number that may be Detailed. Not to exceed five (5) in any one troop, battery 
or company, otherwise the number is limited only by funds available for payment. (Par. 
929, N. G."^R., '22.) 

Compensation how Determined. 

The rate of compensation from Federal funds for each enhsted man so detailed shall 
be fixed by the battery, troop or company commander, with the approval of the squadron 
or battalion commander, when the troop, battery, or company forms a part of an organized 
squadron or battaUon, and by the troop, battery or company commander without the 
approval of higher authority when the troop, battery, or company does not form a part of 

220 



an organized squadron or battalion. In no case shall the compensation from Federal funds 
to the enhsted man detailed in one organization exceed the allotments therefor as fixed by 
the Secretaty of War, and the number of men so detailed shall not exceed five for each com- 
pany. (Par. 943, N. G. R., '22.) 

Pay from other than Federal funds. 

Enlisted men detailed as helpers, caretakers, mechanics etc., and paid may receive 
additional compensation from State, battery, troop, company, or private funds for the 
performance of additional duties, provided that such additional duties in no way interfere 
with the proper care of the materiel, animals, and equipment of the organizations. (Par. 
942, N. G., R., '22.) 

Requests for funds for the payment of helpers will be submitted as in the case 
of funds for other purposes, and such payments will be made by the United States property 
and disbursing officer of the State, Territory, or the District of Columbia concerned. Re- 
quests for funds should cover the monthly periods, and the estimate should show the 
stations of the units, together with information whether they are stabled separately or 
grouped. The organizations for which helpers are employed, the period covered by the 
request, the period for which funds were last suppUed, the amount allotted during the pre- 
ceding period, the number of horses in each place in the organizations for which supphes are 
furnished from Federal funds, and the balance on hand will be stated. (Par. 964, N. G. R. 
'22.) 

Helpers will be paid monthly on War Department, Mihtia Bureau Form No. 19, 
amending same by eliminating the words "On target range," "Location of range," and 
"Number of targets;" also changing the title of the appropriation to read "Arming, equip- 
ping, and training the National Guard, 19 — ," sub-appropriation "Compensation of help 
for care of materiel, animals, and equipment." All the helpers employed in each troop, 
battery, or company stationed separately will be paid on one voucher, certified to by the 
troop, battery, or company commander. (Par. 974, N. G. R., '22.) 

One Voucher for each Stable. 

Where the animals of more than one organization are grouped in one stable all helpers 
employed for the organizations whose animals are so grouped will be paid on one voucher, 
certified to by the senior troop, battery, or company commander in the group when the 
commander of the squadron or battalion of which the organizations form a part is not 
present and by the squadron or battalion commander when he is present with the group. 
(Par. 991, N. G. R., '19.) 

The following v/ords will be added to the certificate at the bottom of the voucher: "that 
the total number of horses (or mules) cared for during the entire month in one place was 

; that they were used exclusively for Cavalry or Field Artillery, Engineers, 

sanitary organizations, signal organizations, or machine-gun troops; and that the men paid 
as helpers were actually enlisted in the organizations from which they were detailed." 
(Par. 976, N. G. R., '22.) 

Absences on Leave or Otherwise of Caretakers, etc. Absence on account of 
sickness "^all be regulated by the State authorities. 

Absence on account of sickness is limited to fifteen days per year so far as pay from 
Federal funds is concerned. 

There is no provision for payment from Federal funds for leave (other than for sickness). 

The animals and materiel must receive proper attention at all times, including holidays, 
Sundays, notwithstanding any absence of any caretaker, helpers, etc., on account of sickness. 

The authorized allowances from Federal funds for pay of caretakers, helpers, machanics, 
etc., must not be exceeded, even though any caretaker, helper, mechanic, etc., may be 
absent on account of sickness. (Cir. Let. No. 70, M. B., Nov. 13, 1920.) 

Helpers at encampments. Helpers paid from Fedreal "funds to care for animals or 
materiel, will be sent to camps with the animals or materiel of their organizations. (Par.

purposes. 

The number of animals so issued shall not exceed thirty-two for each battery of Field 
Artillery or troop of Cavalry, and a proportionate number for other mounted organiza- 
tions, under such regulations as the Secretary of War may prescribe; and the Secretary of

must be under the complete control of the troop, battery, or company commander, and 
without authority from the Secretary of War must not be withdrawn from such use till 
after 90 days from the date of notice of withdrawal. (Par. 948, N. G. R., '22.) 

Whenever such animals are actually acquired by an organization and comply with the 
foregoing conditions, the instructor concerned on duty with the State is author- 
ized, upon the request of the adjutant general of the State, to inspect the animals and 
stable facilities without extra expense to the United States. If approved by him, he will 
furnish the adjutant general of the State with the following certificate: 

I certify that horses (or mules) owned by and in the

(Arm) 

This certificate or copy thereof will accompany all requisitions for supplies and all 
requests for funds, whether for original or subsequent issues. (Par. 949, N. G. R., '22.) 

Combining of Units. 

When two or more mounted organizations are stationed in the same place, animals of 
the several organizations may be pooled for purposes of instruction and placed under the 
temporary control of the organization commander whose organization is to use them for 
drill. All animals pertaining to organizations where two or more troops of cavalry or 
batteries of artillery are stationed will be under the control of the senior officer for instruc- 
tion^'purposes, who will prescribe the schedules for drill and allotment of animals. (Par. 
958,'N. G. R., '22.) 

Mounted Drills. 

***** At least 90 per cent of the mounted drills and exercises must be devoted to

Public Animals at Encampments. 

All animals for which suppHes or helpers are furnished from Federal funds shall be 
sent, upon the order of the Secretary of War, at such times and for such periods as he may 
designate, to camps of instruction or to joint camps for the use of the National Guard 
for which they were issued, assembled thereat, without further compensation to the owners

Public Animals to Another State. 

Public animals will not be sent outside of the State, Territory, or the District of Colum- 
bia for which they were furnished without the authority of the Secretary of War. (Par. 
955, N. G. R., '22.) 

DESCRIPTIVE CARD OP PUBLIC ANIMALS 

Preparation, a. Organizations having responsibiUty for public animals will keep a 
descriptive card (Form No. 277, A. G. 0.).for each animal. When an animal is received by 
the organization the descriptive card will be checked with the animal and any changes or 
discrepancies will be noted below the last transferreng indorsement, accomplished in the 
organization transferring the animal. Notation of the new brands will be made on the 
card. (Pars. 1067, 1069, and 1070, A. R.) 

6. If no card is received one will be prepared and marked "Temporary" at the top of 
the first page for use pending receipt of the original. In case a card has not been received 
with an animal, application will be made for the card from the place from which the animal 
was received, unless the animal has been newly issued through other than a responsible 
officer, in which case the organization commander will prepare the initial descriptive card. 

c. The card, once prepared, will be transferred with the animal whenever responsibility 
or accountability therefor changes, new cards being appended when the transfer indorse- 
ments are exhausted on the original, so that the whole may be a complete history of the 
animal. The data on the front of the card describe the animal at the date when the first 
descriptive card was prepared for the animal. (Par. 76, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Descriptive cards (Form No. 277, A. G. O.) of all animals purchased from Federal 
funds or issued by the Federal Government will be kept and transferred with the animals. 
These cards will be furnished upon requisition, as in the case of other blank forms. Upon 
the death of a public animal the original descriptive card will accompany the survey report. 
Upon the sale of a pubhc animal, pursuant to the approved recommendation of a surveying 
officer, the original descriptive card will accompany the report of sale. (Par. 946, N. G. R., 
'22.) 

State or Privately owned animals. The inspecting officers will prepare duplicate 
descriptive cards (Form 227, A. G. O.) of each animal not issued by the Federal Govern- 
ment or purchased from Federal funds, and will forward one copy to the Chief of the Militia 
Bureau and file the other copy in the office of the district instructor of the arm to which 
the animal pertains. (Par. 951, N. G. Regs., '22.) 

Filing. The descriptive cards of public animals will be filed in front of the guide card 
"Horses," in the miscellaneous tray of the company field desk. (Pars. 204 and 208.) Par. 
77, Spec. Regs., 57 ^ 

Final Disposition. When an animal is finally disposed of the "Final Disposition" 
will be filled in and the card filed with the property loan record until inspected by the zone 
property auditor. (Par. 1073, A. R.) (Par. 78, Spec. Regs., 57.)

Branding of Public Animals. Public animals issued to the National Guard or 
purchased from federal funds shall be branded on the left shoulder with one branding iron 

consisting of three letters as follows: 

Cavalry and riding horses US 

C 

Artillery and draft horses US 

A 

Draft mules, wheel US 

W 

Draft mules, lead US 

L 

Pack and riding mules US 

P 
Each letter of this brand shall be two inches in height. The letters shall be fixed in 
place on the iron so that there shall be an open space of three-quarters (^) of an inch be- 
tween their nearest points. 

Animals with organizations of the National Guard not in the Federal service shall be 
branded on the left fore hoof with the shortest abbreviation of the name of the State, 
followed by the organization number assigned to the animal by the responsible officer, and 
they shall also be branded on the right fore hoof with the designation of the organization 
to which they belong in the same manner as animals of the Regular Army. For example, 
the hoof brands on animals issued and assigned to Headquarters' Troop, Fifth Texas 
Cavalry, would be TEX 29 on the left hoof, and HQ 5 on the right hoof; to Battery B, 1st 
New York Field Artillery, NY 12 on the left hoof and B L on the right hoof. These letters 
and numbers shall be on the same line, three-fourths of an inch high, and blocked so as to 
penetrate the hoof one-sixteenth of an inch. (Par. 983, N. G. R., '22.) 

Shoeing of Public Animals. It should be impressed upon all concerned that a 
mounted organization must have a duly qualified horseshoer and that the animals per- 
taining to the organization must be kept shod by him. He should be one of the helpers 
referred to in paragraph 938, National Guard Regulations. If the pay of horseshoer and 
as helper is not sufficient inducement to secure a competent horseshoer, additional pay 
should be provided from State, battery, troop, company or private funds. (Cir. Let. 
No. 41, M. B., July 23, 1920.) 

Altering of Manes, Tails, etc. 

INIanes, tails, and forelocks of public horses will not be altered except by such reason- 
able plucking as may be necessary to prevent shagginess. (Par. 985, N. G. R., '22.) 

Duties of Officers of the Veterinary Corps. 

The duties of officers of the Veterinary Corps are for the most part to render professional 
services to such animals of the mihtary forces as are entitled to veterinary treatment, 
coming within the scope of their training and their recognized functions in civil practice. 
(Par. 123, N. G. R., '19.) 

Payment for Veterinary Services 

Payment for veterinary services will not be made from Federal funds except when 
specifically authorized by the Secretary of War. Civilian veterinarians who receive 
pay from Federal funds under Sec. 90 of the National Defense Act, will be required to 
furnish the medicine necessary for treatment. (Par. 979, N. G. R., '22.) 

Veterinary Service for Public Animals. Payment for veterinary services will not 
be made from Federal funds except v/hen specifically authorized by the Secretary of War. 
It is not intended that civilian veterinarians be called to treat the ordinary injuries and ail- 
ments to which an animal is subject, but that the stable sergeant or one of his helpers should 
be competent to perform this duty. Only in extreme cases should the services of a civilian 

225 



veterinarian be used. Veterinarians who receive pay from Federal funds under the Na- 
tional Defense Act, will be required to furnish all necessary medical treatment of the public 
animals of their command. (Cir. Let. No. 41, M. B., July 23, 1920.) 

Survey of Public Animals. When horses purchased from Federal funds become 
unserviceable a survey will be prepared and forwarded to the Chief of the Militia Bureau 
for the action of the Secretary of War. (Par. 980, N. G. R., '22.) 

Survey on Death of Public Animals. When condemned Regular Army animals 
issued to the National Guard, and animals purchased from Federal funds, die or are killed 
to terminate suffering or to prevent contagion a survey report and the certificate or affi- 
davits required by paragraph 1073, Army Regulations, will be forwarded to the Chief of 
the Militia Bureau. When such animals become unfit for further use a survey report will 
be prepared and forwarded to the Chief of the Militia Bureau for the action of the Secretarv 
of War. (Par. 981, N. G. R., '22.) ^ 

Forage, Bedding, Supplies, etc. 

Forage, bedding, salt, vinegar, horseshoes, horseshoe nails, blacksmith's coal, and 
veterinary supphes may be furnished upon requisition for animals for cavalry, field artillery, 
engineers, ambulance companies, field hospital companies, signal organizations and ma- 
chine-gun troops of the National Guard in quantities not to exceed those authorized for the 
Regular Army. (Par. 947, N. G. R., '22.) 

When supplies and Helpers may be Procured. 

Supplies and helpers for animals for the National Guard may be procured from Federal 
funds when such animals are furnished, through issue to or purchase by a State or through 
purchase by a company, a squadron, a battaHon, or a regimental headquarters. Before 
any allotments will be made from Federal funds for supphes for animals and for helpers 
to care for them it must be shown that organizations have been provided with suitable 
stable accommodations, and that animals for which expenditures are desired have been 
actually furnished to the organizations or are ownedby them; that they will be used exclu- 
sively for Cavalry, Field Artillery, Engineers, ambulance companies, field hospital com- 
panies, signal organizations, or machine-gun troops or companies of the National Guard- 
and that they are suitable for field service of the arm to which they are supplied (Par* 
948, N. G. R., '22.) 

Supplies will not be used for any purpose other than the maintenance of animals 
that have been approved by the War Department and that are used exclusively as stated 
in this paragraph, and helpers will not perform any duties other than those pertaining to 
the care of Federal property and animals for which supplies are authorized unless they re- 
ceive adequate extra pay from other than Federal funds. (Par. 952, N. G. R. '12.) 

Supplies for Privately Owned Animals. 

Before issuing supphes, or funds for helpers, for animals not issued by the Federal 
Government or purchased from Federal funds the following agreement will be signed by the 
adjutant general of a State where ownership is vested in a State, or by the troop, battery 
company, squadron, or regimental commander where ownership is vested in a troop, battery' 
or company, or a squadron, or regimental headquarters: 

I hereby agree to accept as full payment for the exclusive use of horses 

(Number) 
(or mules) described on the following list, for purposes by 

^"^^^^ (Organization) 

or by such other orgamzations of as the Secretary of War mav direct 

(Arm) - J f 

the allowance of forage, bedding, shoeing, and veterinary supphes and the services of 
helpers furnished from Federal funds; and I further agree to send all of the following de- 
scribed animals to such camps as the Secretary of War may designate, for the periods 
prescribed by him, for the use of the National Guard, without other compensation than 

226 



the supplies and services above named; and I further agree that I will not exchange or with- 
draw any of the following-described animals from exclusive use for the purposes named 
within 90 days after giving due notice to the Chief of the Militia Bureau of an intention for 
such exchange or withdrawal; and I further agree that I will not hold the United States 
liable for any compensation for injuries or death which may occur to said animals while in 
use or in shipment for the foregoing purposes; and I further agree to sell the following- 
described animals to the United States, at prices to be fixed by the Secretary of War, at any 
time during^the above-described use that the War Department may desire to make such 
purchases. 

LIST. 

Animal Age Sex Description 



(Par. 952, N. G. R., '22.) O^^^-^ 

When to submit Requisitions for Supplies. 

Requisitions for supplies should reach the War Department at least sixty days in ad- 
vance of the period for which the supplies are required. (Par. 970, N. G. R., '22.) 

Should supplies not reach organizations before the expiration of the period for which 
issues have been made, a request by telegraph should be sent to the Chief of the Militia 
Bureau for authority to make purchases in the open market until the supplies on the req" 
uisitions are received. Vouchers for such authorized purchases should be paid by the 
UnitedjStates property and disbursing officer. (Par. 987, N. G. R., '19.) 

Contents of Requisitions. 

All requisitions for supplies and requests for funds will show the number of animals 
stabled in one place. Where original issues of supplies or funds are desired the requisition 
or the request will show the dates when the materiel or the animals were received by the 
organizations. (Par. 971, N. G. R., '22.) 

Period of Requisitions. 

Requisitions for suppHes should include the quantities needed for the six months' 
periods ending December 31 and June 30, or the portions of those periods for which supplies 
have been furnished as authorized. (Par. 966, N. G. R., '22.) 

Amounts on Hand to be Stated. 

All forage, bedding, salt, vinegar, and shoeing and veterinary supplies on hand or due 
at the date of a requisition in excess of the needs of the period for which they were issued or 
authorized will be entered on the requisition and deducted from the amounts required 
for the period covered by the requisition. The number of animals for which supplies are 
required, the date to which they were last supplied, the period covered by the requisition 
and the shipping directions will be stated on the face of the requisition. All changes in 
the number of animals in each organization since the date of the last requisition, with the 
date of each loss or gain, will be entered on the requisition. (Par. 967, N. G. R., '22.) 

Shipping Directions necessary. 

If partial shipments are desired, the quantities in the different shipments and the dates 
when shipments are desired should be stated, together with the shipping directions. (Par. 
968, N. G. R., '22.) 

Allowances of Supplies for Public Animals. 

Requisitions will be based upon the following allowances when organizations are not 
on field service: 

Oats, 10 pounds per day per horse. 

8 pounds per day per mule. 
Bran may be substituted for oats in such quantities as are required. 

227 



Hay, 14 pounds per day per horse. 
14 pounds per day per mule. 
Straw, 100 pounds per month per animaJ 
Salt, rock, 0.8 ounce per day per animal. 
Vinegar, 0.1 gill per day per animal. 
Front shoes, 2}/^ pounds per month per animal. 
Hind shoes, 23^ pounds per month per animal. 
Horseshoe nails, one-half pound per month per anim-al. 
Blacksmith's coal, 1^ pounds per month per animal. 
Veterinary supplies, 40 cents per animal for three months. 
(Par. 069, N. G. R., '22.) 

Savings in Allowances accrue to U. S. 

All Federal funds, animals and supplies will remain the property of the United States 
until duly disposed of. (Par. 973, N. G. R., '22.) 

Careless Use of Supplies. 

Should the supplies issued for animals become exhausted before the expiration of the 
period for which they were furnished they must be replaced from State funds. Where it 
appears that supplies are not properly used or v/here animals are not properly cared for, the 
allowances will be discontinued and the public animals will be withdrawn from the organ- 
ization concerned. 

Vv^hen it becomes necessary to discontinue the allowances, the public animals and sup- 
plies on hand after the date of discontinuance will be disposed of as directed by the Secretary 
of War. (Par. 978, N. G. R., '22.) 

Forage Requisitions. The Secretary of War directs that the attention of all States 
again be invited to the necessity for submitting requisitions for forage, bedding etc., for 
piihlic animals, at least sixty days in advance of requirements. . See paragraph 971, National 
Guard Regulations, 1922. 

2. It is realized that unusual conditions affecting deliveries of public animals within 
the past year have made this requirement difficult to fulfil, but in all cases where animals 
have |peen previously furnished the provisions of this paragraph of the Regulations relative 
to forage and bedding should be strictly complied with. 

3. SuppHes of this character, being subject to dete^-ioration, cannot be carried in 
stock and must be obtained in open market on bids submitted in accordance with circular 
proposals issued by the Quartermaster Corps. It will thus be seen that no shipments can 
be made on requisitions requiring deliveries to be made wit jin ten, twenty or in some cases, 
even thirty days from the date of the requisition. 

4. Attention is also invited to the fact that ail forage requisitions should contain the 
following: 

(a) Date and serial number. 

(6) Explicit shipping directions. 

(c) Name of organization to which animals pertain. 

{d) Number of animals to be foraged. 

(e) Period for which supplies are required. 

(/) Date to which last suppHed. 

(g) Quantities of supplies on hand in excess of requirements for the previous 
period. 

{h) Only supplies required in addition to the surplus on hand should be called 
for, the two amounts not to exceed the amounts prescribed in Regula- 
tions for the period for which supplies are requested. 

5. The allowances are stated in Paragraph 955, National Guard Regulations, and 
this office is without authority to furnish any supplies to pubhc animals in excess of these 
allowances. Greater care should, therefore, be taken to insure accuracy in the preparation 

228 



of these requisitions and they should be forwarded in ample time to permit the Quarter- 
master Corps to make purchases in accordance with their present method of procurement. 
(Cir. Let. 78, M. B. 1921.) 

Requisitions for forage should be prepared in accordance with pargaraph 989, 
National Guard Regulations, 1922, with the exception that the space on the form of re- 
quisition (Q. M. C. 160) "Quantity on hand" should be filled in, and the quantities desired 
should be indicated in column "required for." The headings in the paragraph referred to 
above, dififer from those contained on the form of requisition now used. (Cir. Let. No. 10, 
M. B., Feb. 14, 1921.) 

Form of Requisition for Forage and Supplies.

Purchase of Forage. Circular Letter No. 83, Office of Chief, Militia Bureau, 
dated December 12, 1921, is hereby rescinded and the following will govern in lieu thereof: 

1. When forage is supplied to National Guard organizations by purchasing officers 
of the Quartermaster Corps, U. S. Army, it is frequently advantageous for the procuring 
officer to purchase from local dealers at the points where the organizations are located, in 
order to get the benefit of local prices and to save time by eliminating shipment by rail. 

2. In such cases local commanding officers will render all possible assistance to the 
purchasing officers of the Army, if request for such assistance is made, by obtaining quota- 
tions from local dealers and forwarding same to the officer of the Quartermaster Corps 
charged with making the purchase. If so requested, he will also take dehvery from the 
local firm to which award is made, inspect same for quahty and weight, and obtain bills in 
triplicate from the vendor, and forward the bills together with a certificate in duphcate 
that the supplies have been received in the quantity and of the quality specified, to the 
Quartermaster making the purchase. Each copy of the Vendor's bill will have the following 
certificate signed by the vendor, noted thereon: ''I certify that the above account is cor- 
rect and payment therefor has not been received." 

3. The purchasing Quartermaster, under instructions from the Quartermaster General 
of the Army, will originate Receiving Reports, based on inspection certificates furnished by 
the National Guard officer, to account for the property and arrange for payment for same 
and wiU transfer the accountability for the supplies by means of Shipping Tickets to the 
Commanding Officers of the National Guard organizations concerned. The receiving 
officer of the National Guard will then accomplish and return without delay the shipping 
tickets as requested by the purchasing quartermaster and will originate Receiving Reports 
to be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 920 (c) of the National 
Guard Regulations 1919. 

4. When so requested, National Guard Commanding Officers will make emergency 
purchases of forage for Army purchasing officers. The procedxu-e in such cases after de- 
hvery will be the same as outhned in paragraphs 2 and 3 above, relative to disposal of 
vendor's bills, rendering of Receiving Reports, etc. 

5. Close cooperation between National Guard officers and purchasing officers of the 
Army is necessary to permit of prompt and economical supply; and the method outlined 
above, if carefully observed, will accomplish the desired result. 

6. In case forage is not received by an organization by the time the horses have 
arrived, or before the supply of forage on hand is exhausted, a request by telegraph should 
be sent to the Chief, Militia Bureau, for authority to make purchases in open market, as 
provided in paragraph 839, of the Regulations cited above. (Par. 839,N. G. R., '22'.) (Cir. 
Let. M. B.,No. 16, 1922.)

ARTICLE V 
Records, Reports, and Returns 

A. THE COMPANY FIELD DESK 

Use of the Field Desk Prescribed, (a) Except when a special field desk is pre- 
scribed for a staff corps or department, the company field desk, small, prescribed in equip- 
ment tables (see Manual for the Quartermaster Corps, Vol. II, Appendix, p. 269), will be 
used in all companies, troops, batteries, and detachments, in accordance with the methods 
prescribed in these regulations to the exclusion of all other containers for records. Two 
field desks, small, are issued to each company (Cir. No. 377, W. D., 1919). For convenience 
the two desks are hereinafter referred to as the company field desk A and the company field 
desk B. 

(6) The service records (par. 203) and miscellaneous records (par. 204) will be kept 
habitually in their respective trays in the field desk A. The trays may be removed from 
the desk temporarily to facihtate work upon records, but upon completion of work the 
trays will be returned to the desk. The other contents of the field desk A, as provided for 
and described in this section, will be kept in the desk at all times, both in garrison and in 
the field. The five-year file and the permanent file will be kept in their respective trays in 
the field desk B. (Par. 199, Spec. Regs., 57.) ' 

Company Field Desk A. (a) The company field desk A is a part of equipment A 
(Cir. No. 377, W. D., 1919) and will accompany the organization on all changes of station 
and in the field. 

(6) When equipped for the field, the desk will contain the necessary office supplies 
(par. 218) and blank forms for a period of three months, and the records and incidentals 
essential to the administration of the company in the field. 

(c) The lid section provides space for the loose-leaf binder containing the individual 
equipment records with a supply of Form No. 637, A. G. O.; the blank forms the disposition 
of which is not otherwise prescribed; and the regulations to be carried. 

(d) The bottom section packed for the field will contain the service record tray and 
the miscellaneous record tray. These trays will contain that part of the live file which 
must be accessible in the field. (Par. 200, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Company Field Desk B. (a) Company field desk B is part of equipment B (Cir. 
No. 377, W. D., 1919), but will be permanently issued to and retained by the company. 
Upon change of station from one post or camp or station of a relatively permanent nature 
to another post or to a camp or station of a relatively permanent nature, the desk will be 
transported as freight. When the company takes the field, the desk and the records therein 
contained will be stored at the last permanent station of the company, at a mobihzation 
or concentration camp, or such other place as may be designated by the division or depart- 
ment commander or higher authority. 

(6) The field desk B will contain the five-year file (Par. 213) and the permanent file 
(Par. 215) one tray for each file, and such other books and manuals as are authorized to 
be carried and for which space is available in the desk (Par. 3 and Par. 216). (Par. 201, 
Spec. Regs., 57.) 



231 



Filing Cards. The filing equipment furnished for use in company field desks consists 
of: 

(a) For use in the field desk A — 

(1) Twelve month cards (yellow) and 31 date cards (pink) for use as a "Reminder" 
(Par. 205). 

(2) Four cards headed respectively ''Noncommissioned officers," ''Mechanics/' 
"Privates, first class," and "Privates," for use in the service-record tray (Par. 203). 

(3) Three cards (pink) headed respectively "Clothing," "Horses," and "Memo- 
randa," for use in the miscellaneous record tray (Par. 204). 

(h) For use in the field desk B — 

(1) Twenty-five alphabetical cards (blue); one card headed "Returns," for use 
in the permanent file (Par. 215). 

(2) Six cards (pink) headed respectively "Target record," "First year," "Second 
year," "Third year," "Fourth year," and "Fifth year," for use in the five-year file (Par. 
213 and Par. 214). (Par. 202, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Service Record Tray, (a) The service record tray will contain the service records 
of the men of the company subdivided under four heads in roster order by the guide cards 
"Noncommissioned officers," "Mechanics," "Privates, first class," and "Privates." 

(6) Service records will be filed in the tray as follows: In front of the guide card 
"Noncommissioned officers" will be filed, the service records of the noncommissioned officers 
of the company in each grade, the records being filed in the order of the date of warrant; 
following the noncommissioned officers and in front of the guide card "Mechanics" will be 
filed the service records of the cooks, mechanics, and buglers, in alphabetical order in each 
grade; following this group and in front of guide card "Private, first class" will be filed the 
service records of the privates, first class, in alphabetical order; following this group and in 
front of the guide card "Privates" will be filed the service records of the privates in alpha- 
betical order. (Pars. 118 and 120.) (Par. 203, Spec. Regs. 57.) 

Miscellaneous Record Tray. The miscellaneous record tray v/ill contain the 
"Reminder," and the sections designated by the headings, "Memoranda," "Clothing," 
and "Horses," in that order, followed by the current correspondence book with document 
file, and current company council book with vouchers. (Pars. 206-210.) (Par. 204, 
Spec. Regs., 57.) 

The "Reminder.** The "Reminder" will consist of the month cards and date cards, 
which are placed in chronological order in the front of the miscellaneous tray, the month 
cards being in rear of date cards. 

(a) The date cards will be rotated as follows: On the morning of January 2, the date 
card "1" will be placed in rear of month cards for "January" and in front of and next to 
the month card "February," the procedure being followed daily with the remaining date 
cards for the month in order, so that following the 31st of January the date card 31 will 
uncover the January card. The former will be filed in rear of date card 30 and in front of 
month card "February," and the January card will be filed in rear of month card "Decem- 
ber," leaving the "Reminder" for the month of February set up in normal order with the 
blank daily report books for the month presented for use. 

(6) In setting up the "Reminder," the morning report (Par. 22), daily sick report 
(Par. 27), and duty roster (Par. 33), for the current month will be filed in the front of the 
"Reminder" section; and supplies of these blanks for the ensuing quarter will be filed in 
similar sets in front of the next three month cards. A complete set of these blank forms 
will be obtained by each company from the adjutant on the first of each month so that the 
desk will always have a quarterly supply of reports and blank forms on hand. 

(c) Blank forms for requisitions, special reports, and returns, normally rendered on a 
specific date, will be filed in front of the date card of the day on which preparation is to be 
effected. 

232 



(d) A complete set of reminder slips for use in the "Reminder" should be prepared. 
These slips should anticipate all the items of administration in the company in time for 
their accomplishment and should be prepared of size 3H by 8 inches. An example of such 
"Reminder" sHps follows: 

Reminder. Articles 1, 2, and 29, 54 to 96, inclusive, and 104 to 109, inclusive, will 

be read and explained to every soldier at the time of his enlistment or 
Jan. 1st. muster in, or within six days thereafter, and will be read and explained 

once every six months to soldiers of every garrison, regiment, or company 
Jul. 1st. in the service of the United States. (110 A. W.) The articles of war 

are published in the Manual for Courts-Martial, page 305. 
Mar. 25ih Select a noncommissioned officer of the company to act as a member 
Jun. 25th. of a subscommittee of noncommissioned officers to carry out the provisions 

of Post Exchange Regulations. (Page 15k: S. R., No. 59.) 

A call should come from post or regimental headquarters for the name 
Dec. 25th. on the last of the month. 

(e) The "Reminder" will also be used as a live file for papers destined for the five- 
year file or permanent file, but whose disposition in these files is to be postponed until the 
papers cease to be of current import. Such papers should be filed in front of the index 
card of the month on which they are filed, and moved to the back of the "Reminder" with 
it. When the card next appears a year later the papers filed with it will be placed in the 
permanent file; or in the first year section of the five-year file until the 1st of January v/hen 
they will pass into the second year section. If it is desirable that a paper be retained in 
the "Reminder" for a lesser period, it should be filed with the card for the month when its 
disposition in the five-year or permanent file is desired. It will be seen from the above 
that the live file in the "Reminder" is supplemented in the case of papers for the five-year 
file by the first-year section of that file, in which papers remain from the time they leave 
the "Reminder" until the succeeding 1st of January. (Pars. 22, 27, 33, 36, 49, and 100.) 
(Par. 205, Spec. Regs. 57.) 

Memoranda. In front of the guide card "Memoranda" will be filed memoranda, the 
filing of which is not directed elsewhere. (Par. 206, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Clothing. In front of the guide card "Clothing" will be filed the retained requisitions 
for clothing (P. & S., Form No. 160), and individual clothing slips (Q. M. C, Form No. 165). 
These will be filed until checked by the auditor, when they may be destroyed. (Par. 75.) 
(Par. 207, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Public Animals. In front of the guide card "Horses" will be filed the descriptive 
cards of public animals (Form No. 277, A. G. O.) pertaining to the organization. (Par. 
77.) If no use for this file is anticipated it may be replaced by other matter. (Account- 
abihty for such animals as are furnished to organizations not mounted by the supply com- 
pany (T. of O.) will remain with the supply company which ordinarily retains the descrip- 
tive cards of the animals.) (Par. 208, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Correspondence Book and Document File. a. The current correspondence book 
and such part of the document file as will be taken when the company goes into the field, 
will be filed behind the above items in the miscellaneous tray. The closed correspondence 
books and their corresponding document files will be filed in the "permanent file" when they 
have ceased to be of current interest or importance. (Pars. 82 and 86.) 

h. Before the yearly transfer to the permanent file all documents will be carefully 
examined and papers which have become obsolete or without permanent value may be 
destroyed. This elimination will be made by the company commander in person, who will 
check the correspondence book to which the documents pertain, striking out the word 
"Doc" in each case and inserting the date and his initial, e. g., "1-2-19, A. B. C." (Par. 
85.) (Par. 209, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

233 



Company Council Book. a. The company council book, with current vouchers^ 
will be filed behind the correspondence book in the miscellaneous tray. The closed com- 
pany council books will be filed in the five-year file. (Pars. 96 and 213.) 

h. When the company takes the field the last closed company council book and cor" 
respondence book, with its document file, may be taken in the miscellaneous tray if de~ 
sired. (Par. 210, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Property Records. The property loan record, with its accompanying vouchers, 
i. e., shipping tickets, receiving reports, statements of charges, reports of survey, and inven- 
tory and inspection reports/^will be filed in the lower left section of the top of the field desk 
together with a supply of each of these blanks. (Par. 70.) (Par. 211, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Individual Equipment Record. The individual equipment record (Form No. 637> 
together with a supply of each of these blanks. (Par. 70.) (Par. 211, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Individual Equipment Record. The individual equipment record (Form No. 637, 
A. G. 0.) will be filed in the loose-leaf binder provided for the purpose. This binder with 
its contents will be kept in the right upper section of the top of the filed desk. Blank forms 
for these records will be placed in the binder behind the current records. (Par. 130.) 
(Par. 212, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Five- Year File Section, a. The division cards for this file consist of the "first year," 
"second year," "third year," "fourth year," and "fifth year" cards, devised to separate 
the papers to be retained for five years. 

6. All papers destined for file in the five-year file, including sick reports, company range 
practice records, and company council books, when withdrawn from the Hve file (par. 205e) 
will be filed in front of the guide card "first year." The "target record" card follows the 
fifth year section. 

c. On January 1 of each year the first-year card will be moved to the front of the five- 
year file, being replaced by the second-year card. The other year cards will be moved for- 
ward: third in place of second, fourth in place of third, fifth in place of fourth; so that on 
each January 1 after the fifth year of filing, the year's discard will be found in rear of the 
fifth-year card. The papers in rear of the fifth-year card will be removed and destroyed. 
In this manner all dead records will be automatically worked from the file (par. 281, A. R.), 
and the first-year card will be in place to receive the papers to be filed during the ensuing 
year. (Par. 213, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Target Record. In front of the guide card "target record" in the five-year file tray 
will be filed such individual records of company target practice as are prescribed in para- 
graph 101. When a soldier leaves the company permanently or at the expiration of his 
enlistment his retained individual target records will be given to him. The compiled records 
and reports of the company range practice for the current year will be filed in the "Remin- 
der" until the next practice, when they will be filed in the first-year section of the five-year 
file. (Par. 1026.) (Par. 214, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

The Permanent File. a. In the permanent file will be filed —

234 



They will be filed in the permanent file in chronological order in front of the guide card 
"Returns" in rear of the alphabetical section, (Pars. 22 and 49. j (Par. 215, Spec. Regs., 
57.)

tins, and Special Regulations No. 40, No. 56, No. 57, No. 58, No. 72, No. 77, and Cirs. No. 
377 (amended) and No. 498, W. D., 1919, will be carried in the lower right section of the 
top of field desk A. It is not contemplated that other books and manuals will be carried 
in this desk; they should be carried in field desk B as provided in paragraph 201. (Par. 
216, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Blank Forms, a. Companies will procure their supply of blank forms from regi- 
mental or post headquarters.

235 



The blank forms are filed in rear of the current records in the loose-leaf binder in the 
lid section of the desk. (Par. 212. j (Par. 217, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Stationery. The following supply of stationery will be carried in the field desk wher- 
ever space is afforded: 

4 blocks, memo or scratch note, 

1 book, duplicating, letter size, 

2 quires, letter paper, typewriter, 
24 envelopes, official, 

1 gross bands, rubber. No. 18, 

1 eraser, rubber, ink and pencil, 

1 eraser, steel, 

1 box fasteners, paper, 

1 tin ink, black tablets, 

1 tin ink, red tablets, 

1 tube paste, 

4 pencils, indelible, 

2 pencils, lead, 

1 pencil, colored (blue and red),

a 12 by 19 inch blotter to the lapboard with thumb tacks.) (Par. 218, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Packing the Desk. a. To pack the records for moving, remove the loose block from 
the front of the tray, move the records forward against the front of the tray, loosen the 
thumbscrews of the compressor block at the rear of the records, move the block forward, 
compressing the record between the compressor block and the front of the tray (not too 
tightly), invert the front block and press it (wedgelike) between the compressor block and 
the records. The records are then snugly packed to prevent them from being dislodged and 
injured when the desk is handled. 

b. Having compressed the records in the trays, turn the trays end for end in the desk, 
so that the weight of the records will not rest against the compressor block. 

c. Having compressed the records and inverted the trays, place the lapboard, blotter 
side down, over the trays to protect the contents of the tray and serve as a buffer between 
the trays and the hinged lid of the top of the desk. V/hen the desk is packed care will be 
taken to place the lapboard in position before closing the desk, because its omission may 
cause the hinge lid to break loose, since it is not intended to bear the weight of the records 
carried in the desk. (Par. 219, Spec. Regs., 57.)

ice record and transmit the record with the individual equipment record to the new com- 
pany or detachment commander in the manner prescribed in paragraph 104. Subsequent 
indorsements will be filled out as the changes of station or status of the soldier require, the 
original service record thus following the soldier until he is separated from active service. 
(Par. 108.) Before forwarding the service record the company commander will prepare an 
extract thereof on Form No. 29a A. G. O., for file with the records of the organization. 
(Par. 106, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Data to be Included in Indorsements. Each indorsement will give the reason for

Government property or supplies; amounts due on account of partial payments, over- 
payments, post exchange, post laundrj^, tailor, company fund, transportation or sub- 
sistence, and stoppages, including detained pay, under sentence of court-martial, and on 
account of absence without leave (par. 192), absence from duty because of disease resulting 
from the soldier's own intemperate use of drugs or alchoholic Hquor or other misconduct 
(par. 246), ?n short, all information required to be entered on pay rolls except allotments 
and insurance will be incorporated in the indorsement on the service record. The wording 
of the indorsement under "Due United States" will conform to model remarks for such 
rolls prescribed by the War Department. (Par. 107, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Note. — This data must include a statement of aU drills attended with the old or- 
ganization for which pay is due. 

Filing, a. Service records are filed in the service record tray of the company field 
desk (par. 203) in the order in which the names of the soldiers appear on the duty roster, 
pay rolls, and monthly roster of troops. The guide card "Noncommissioned officers" is

h. WTien a soldier is temporarily absent from his company on account of sickness, 
confinement, or detached service; and his service record has been forwarded by endorse- 
ment to his new commanding officer, the extract from the service record will be filed in 
the tray in place of the service record. (Pars. 119a, 1205, and 203.) (Par. 118, Spec. 
Reg. 57.) 

EXTRACT FROM SERVICE RECORD 

Function, a. The extract from the service record, Form No. 29a, A. G. O., replaces 
the service record of the soldier in the company files when he is discharged (par. 194), re- 
tired (par. 196), furloughed to the reserve (par. 194), or transferred (par. 186); dies (par. 
195), or deserts (par. 197); or is absent sick (par. 188), on detached service (par. 190), or 
absent in confinement (par. 189). 

b. The extract wiU be prepared at the same time as the indorsement by which the 
service record is forwarded and will show the new station or status of the soldier, his char- 
acter, and a complete statement of his accounts at the date, including statement as to the 
date to which the soldier was last paid in full. (Pars. 104, 106, 108, and 114.) 

c. When a soldier is discharged, furloughed to the reserve, transferred to another or- 
ganization, or is otherwise separated from his company w^hile absent therefrom, the officer 
who is then the custodian of the soldier's service record will also furnish the former com- 
pany commander with an extract from the service record for file with the company 
records, on Form No 29a, A. G. O. (Pars. 114 and 194d.) 

When a soldier is so separated from his organization while absent therefrom, there v/ill 
be entered after the words "This soldier" on Form No. 29a, A. G. O., the authority or reason 
for such separation, e. g. "was transferred to Co. G., 65th Inf. per S. O. No. 24, HQ. S. 
Dept." or "died at Gen. Hosp. No. 21, April 3, 1919" or "was retired per S. O. No. 132, 
W. D., 1919." (Par. 119, Spec. Regs., '57.) 

Filing, a. When the soldier is separated from the company by reason of discharge, 
furlough to the reserve, retirement, death or desertion, the extract is filed in rear of the serv- 
ice records of privates in the tray of the company field desk until the company roster of 
troops for the month in which the separation occurred is received from the personnel adju- 
tant; or, if the company prepares its own roster of troops as contemplated in paragraph 
366, it will be so filed until the roster is prepared for the month in which the separation 
occurs. If there is more than one separation, described above, from the company during 
the month, the extracts will be filed in the same order as the service records were filed in the 
tray. When the company roster of troops for the month in which the separation occurred 
has been received from the personnel adjutant, or when the new roster has been prepared as 
contemplated in paragraph 366, the extracts will be transferred to the alphabetical section 
of the permanent file and will be permanently preserved. (Par. 114.) 

b. If the soldier is absent from the company by reason of sickness, detached service, 
or confinement, and his service record has been forwarded to his new commanding officer, 
the extract from his service record will be filed in the place from which his service record has 
been removed. When the soldier rejoins the company and his service record is returned, 
the extract should be checked with the service record and may then be destroyed after addi- 
tional data thereon have been recorded on the service record. (Par. 120, Spec. Regs., 57.)

MORNING REPORTS 

Modifications for Armory Drill Period. 

A National Guard organization during the Armory period of instruction is assembled 
in general only once a week. It is therefore suggested that during the period of Armory 
instruction, "the morning report day" be taken as the period extending from the close of 
one drill assembly to the close of the following drill assembly. 

In order to economize on blank forms it is suggested that these "morning report days" 
be recorded on consecutive lines and the dates in the left hand margin of the form be changed 
to conform. 

In submitting Morning Reports to the Commanding Officer of the Regiment, unless all 
units of the regiment are located in the same Armory it is not likely that the company 
Morning Reports can be returned to the companies in time for use at the next assembly for 
drill. It is therefore suggested that instead of submitting Morning Reports to Regimental 
Headquarters after each drill, that companies arrange with ».heir regimental commanders 
so that they can make an extract from the morning report after each drill and mail it or 
phone the data to Regimental Headquarters for the Consolidated Morning Report and 
then send in the Company Morning Report to Regimental Headquarters once a month at 
a designated time to have it checked. 

The following data is extracted from Army Regulations No. 345-400 War Department 
November 18, 1921, and the paragraph numbers in that publication are retained here.

SECTION IV. STATION AND RECORD OF EVENTS. 

Paragraph. 

Station or location 35 

Record of events 36 

35. Station or location. — The station or location of the company or detachment 
will be stated on the left of the page devoted to "Station and record of events," immediately 
following the day of the month. If there is no change during a 10-day period, the name of 
the station will be stated only once. On the march, the camp or bivouac at the end of the 
day will be considered as the station or location of the company or detachment for the 
purpose of the report. (See model in paragraph 44. ) 

36. Record of events. — Under this heading will be exactly noted: 

a. Changes of station. — All changes of station of the organization, with dates. 
h. Actions and battle casualties. — 

(1) Actions in which the organization, or any part of it, has been engaged. 

(2) All battle casualties, including the killed in action, the wounded in action, the 

gassed in action, the missing in action, and the captured in action, each 
stated separately. Names, places, and dates will be given, 
c. Miscellaneous. — 

(1) Reconnaissances. 

(2) Marches. 

(3) Maneuvers- 

(4) Everything of interest relating to the discipUne, efficiency, or service of the 

organization, not enumerated above, dates, places, and distances marched 
or traveled being shown. 

SECTION V. RATIONS. 

37. General. — Since a ration is the allowance for the subsistence of one person for 
one day and since the money value of rations to be credited to a company depends upon 
the average strength of the company mess during the ration period it is necessary to keep 
a careful record of the ration account for each day. This record is kept in the morning 
report. „q ,,,<? 

38. How computed; entries required. — a. General procedure.— The daily average 
strength for rations is the number of persons for whom the company is entitled to rations 

260 



and is found by dividing by 3 the sum of the number of persons entitled to each of the three 
meals, breakfast, dinner, and supper, with the company, as shown by the figures and ' •Re- 
marks" on the morning report. (See paragraph 43c.) The daily average strength for 
rations, as determined from the tabulation and remarks on the morning report, will be 
entered day bj'- day in the column "Daily average strength for rations" of the ration account 
in the front of the morning report. The names of men authorized to mess separately, the 
period so messed, and the number of rations involved, will be entered separately as soon as 
known under the heading ''Men authorized to mess separately." At the end of the ration 
period this latter tabulation will give the amount of commutation to be delivered to the 
organization for payment to the men messing separately. The daily average strength for 
rations, diminished by the number of men authorized to mess separately, will give the entry 
for the column headed "No. men messing with organization." This latter figure is the 
basis upon which the plus or minus percentage correction, prescribed in Army Regulations, 
for messes of various strengths, is made. Having made the above correction, the result is 
the "Net No. rations due organization," which is entered daily under the column so headed. 
The total of these figures for the ration period will be entered on the ration return. 

b. Miscellaneous rules. — 

(1) A soldier sick in hospital at the station of his company is attached to the hospital 
for rations; one sick in quarters is rationed with his company. 

(2) A soldier in confinement messing with his company is so accounted for. 

(3 ) A change of status of a soldier with regard to rations is assumed to have occurred 
after breakfast and before dinner, unless otherwise stated in remarks. 

(4) A fraction of one-third is disregarded, while a fraction of two-thirds is counted as 
a unit. 

CORRESPONDENCE BOOK 

Correspondence Book, Form No. 662, A. G. O. The correspondence book con- 
sists of an alphabetical index and numbered pages for entry of items of correspondence. The 
alphabetical index and numbered pages are hereinafter referred to as the "index" and as 
the "body" of the book, respectively. (Pars. 80, 81.) All entries in the correspondence 
book, both in the index and body, will be made in ink, whenever practicable, but when pen 
and ink are not available entries may be made with indelible pencil. (Par. 79, Spec. Regs., 
57.) 

Entries in Body of the Book. a. An entry will be made in the body of the book of 
each item of correspondence in respect to which a record in the company is necessary and 
for which the method of recording or filing it is not otherwise provided. (Pars. 169c, 169rf, 
1846, 197c, and 197^.) No record will be made beyond the mere fact of origin or receipt, 
and disposition, in respect to the following: 

(1) Papers not pertaining to the administration of the company; such papers should 
be transmitted forthwith to the proper place for action. 

(2) Mere letters of transmittal; such letters when received will be destroyed forthwith. 

(3) Requests for and acknowledgment of receipt of publications and blank forms. 

(4) All other communications that have no permanent value and that are finally dis- 
posed of by answers thereto. 

b. Entries will be numbered serially, beginning with number one. The same series 
will be continued from year to year and from one correspondence book to another as books 
are filled and filed. 

c. When an item itself and notation of action taken thereon are completely represented 
by carbon copy in the document file (pars. 83, 84), the entry of the item in the body of the 
book will be Hmited to (1) the number of the item, and (2) the abbreviation "Doc," thus, 

"1301 Doc." 

d. When an item itself and notation of action thereon are not completely represented, 
or only partially represented, by carbon copy in the document file, the entry of the item in 

261 



the body of the book will include (1) the number of the item, (2) brief statement of contents 
of so much of the item and action taken thereon as are not represented by carbon copy in the 
document file, and (3) if any part of the item is represented by carbon copy in the document - 
file, the abbreviation "Doc.;" thus, 

"1302 AppHcation of Lt Jones for Lv 2 mos Doc." 

The abbreviation "Doc." will not be made, however, unless some part of the item or 
action taken thereon is represented by copy in the document file. 

e. "When a communication is received which has been entered previously in the cor- 
respondence book it will not be reentered ordinarily, but the record will be continued under 
the former entry. But when the space for continuing the record is not sufficient under the 
former entry, or when it becomes desirable to transfer a remote entry to one of current date, 
a new entry will be made and given a new serial number. In either case the notation "See 

No. " will be made under the old entry and the old number shown in parentheses 

after the new in the new entry, thus "976 (349)." 

/. Normally a space of one blank line will be left after each original entry, but more 
space will be left if the nature of the communication indicates that one line wiU not be suffi- 
cient for the purpose of continuing the record. (Par. 80, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Entries in the Index, a. Each item- entered in the body of the book will be indexed 
under its subject and under the names of the writer of the communication and the persons 
mentioned therein. When many communications are received from the same officer or 
office — e. g., The Adjutant General of the Army, the adjutant of the regiment, etc., the 
name of the writer need not be indexed, if it is found that the index of subjects or persons 
mentioned in the communication answers all practical purposes. 

h. The indexed entries will bear numbers corresponding to those of the items in the 
body of the book. (Par. 81, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Filing and Disposition. The current correspondence book will be filed in the mis- 
cellaneous tray of the company field desk in rear of the section headed "Horses." When 
correspondence books are filled and no longer current they will be placed in the permanent 
file. (Par. 209.) (Par. 82, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

DOCUMENT PILE 

Purpose and Contents. The document file supplements the correspondence book. 
It will contain the original documents or communications, or legible copies thereof, together 
with originals or copies of letters, indorsements, and telegrams sent or received relating to 
the same. The file will also contain copies of letters, indorsements, or telegrams originating 
in the company office. When the original of any paper becomes available for file in place of 
a filed copy, the latter will be replaced and destroyed. Any additional notations on the 
copy must be noted on the original. (Par. 83, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Filing Papers, a. The papers in the document file will be numbered to correspond 
v/ith the numbers of the items in the body and index of the correspondence book, and will 
be filed according to their serial number. When more than one paper pertaining tOx^the 
same item is placed on file the papers will be placed in an envelope, if practicable, and the 
number of the item noted thereon. Papers differently numbered or on a related matter 
may also be kept together when desirable, but if so kept a reference slip must be inserted to 
account for the paper's absence from its serial place. 

6. The serial numbers in the document file will not be complete, but whenever a paper 
is filed therein the abbreviation "Doc" will be placed after the entry in the body of the 
correspondence book. (Par. 84, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Eliminating Obsolete Items, a. To prevent an accumulation of unnecessary or 
obsolete "documents" in the file an annual inspection of the document file will be made by 
the company commander, who will at such inspection eliminate from the file all items which 
have become obsolete or unnecessary of retention for future reference. Great care will be 

262 



taken not to remove items relating to the history of the organization or individuals, or mat- 
ters of future value or records, etc., which should be filed in the five year, or permanent 
file. 

b. When documents are eliminated from the file the abbreviation "Doc" in the bodj'- of 
correspondence book will be lined out and the date and initial of the company commander 
inserted. (Par. 2096.) (Par. 85, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Filing and Disposition. The current document file will be filed with the current 
correspondence book in rear of the section headed "Horses" in the miscellaneous tray. It 
should be kept in an envelope or folder marked "Document file." After the annual inspec- 
tion and elimination and at such other times as may be desirable, such parts of the document 
file as have ceased to be of current importance but are to be retained will be transferred to 
the permanent file, preferably segregated by years in envelopes marked, e. g., "Document 
file, 1919, Nos. 104 to 156." These envelopes should be placed with the closed correspond- 
ence book to which they pertain when it becomes a part of the permanent file. (Par. 209.) 
(Par. 86, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

STRENGTH RETURNS 

Form to be Used. Circular Letter No. 25 M. B., 1921, provides that effective 
April 1, 1921, Form 103 M. B. will be discontinued and Forms Nos. 30 and 43, A. G. O., 
will take its place for use in rendering returns of strength for a company or similar unit. 

To Whom Rendered and When. Each company troop or battery commander will 
render accomplished Forms 30 and 43, A. G. O. direct to battahon, squadron or regimental 
commander on the first day of each month. In the case of separate units not forming part 
of Federally recognized battalions, squadrons or regiments, the strength return should be 
forwarded by each independent company commander direct to Militia Bureau. 

Number of Copies to be Prepared. Two copies will be prepared; original for- 
warded as stated above; duphcate retained in company records. 

Preparation of Strength Returns. Copies of strength returns may be made by 
carbon process but each must be clear and distinct, and signed. When preparing copies by 
carbon process care will be taken to see that the sheets register accurately in order to insure 
that data will appear in proper columns and on proper Hnes. (Par. 14, Cir. 26 W. D., 
1921.) 

Through misunderstanding on the part of the printer some forms have been printed on 
paper too heavy to make copies by carbon process. Owing to the scarcity of funds for 
printing it is necessary to utiHze these forms, but when the forms are reprinted paper suit- 
able for making copies by carbon process will be used. (Par. 23, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.) 

Predominant race will be indicated on Form No. 30, by a cross (X) in the appropriate 
space in the upper left hand corner of the first page. For troops other than white or colored, 
race will be shown by abbreviation, such as "Phil," "Haw," etc., in the space provided for 
such notation. (Ext. Par. 6, Cir. 26 W. D., 1921.) 

Branch will be shown in the upper right hand corner as "Infantry," "Cavalry," "Medi- 
cal Department," "Quartermaster Corps," etc. Only one branch will be included on a 
single return. Attached and casuals of other branches with regiments, separate and de- 
tached battalions and companies, and similar separate and detached units, will be accounted 
for on returns of attached and casuals of another branch, Form No. 42, a separate return 
being rendered for each branch. (Par. 7, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.) 

In the columns "Subdivisions of Branch" the subdivisions of the branch, or services 
within the branch, will be shown, each on a separate line. For example, in the Medical 
Department Branch, the Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps, Medical 
Administrative Corps, Enlisted Men, Army Nurse Corps, and Contract Surgeons will be 
shown on separate lines. Likewise in the Quartermaster Corps branch, the Supply Service, 
Construction Service, Transportation Service, and Remount Service will be shown on 
separate lines. 

263 



If the branch is not composed of different subdivisions or services, the hnes in this col- 
umn will not be filled in. (Ext. Par. 8b, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.) 

The discharge of an enlisted man on account of fraudulent enlistment for minority 
concealed will be recorded in the column "Minority" under "Losses" since last monthly 
return. All other cases of discharge, as distinguished from honorable and dishonorable 
discharge, will be recorded in the column with blank heading under "Losses," a heading in- 
dicating reason for discharge being inserted. (Par. 9, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.) 

In order to describe definitely their status with relation to the organization or head- 
quarters for which returns are rendered, and to connect strength returns and returns of 
attached and casuals of another branch with morning reports, personnel with the organiza- 
tion or headquarters will be classified as follows: A, belonging to the organization; B, at- 
tached of the same branch, belonging to another organization; C, attached of the same 
branch, unassigned to any organization; D, casuals of the same branch, belonging to an- 
other organization; E, casuals of the same branch, unassigned to any organization; F, at- 
tached by Tables of Organization from another branch; G, attached of another branch, be- 
longing to an organization; H, attached of another branch unassigned to any organization; 
I, casuals of another branch, belonging to an organization; and K, casuals of another branch 
unassigned to any organization. 

Attached and casuals from other organizations and headquarters (B and D, on Form 
No. 30 and G and I, on Form No. 42), will be fully accounted for on the strength return of 
their ov»'n organizations or headquarters and they will not be included in compiling "Strength 
Present and Absent, by Rank and Grade" and "Alterations since last Monthly Return." 
Ext. par. 10 and 11, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.) 

Officers and enlisted men who join an organization or headquarters by assignment, 
transfer, or attachment, or as casuals, and are separated therefrom by transfer, by relief 
from attachment, or by departure in case of casuals, before the end of the month, wiU not be 
shown under gains or losses in the table of Alterations Since Last Monthly Return. In all 
other cases gains and losses will be shown in the appropriate columns, however short a time 
the officers or enlisted men have served with or been carried on the rolls of the organization. 
(Par. 12, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.) 

Strength returns on Form No. 30, will be accompanied by Record of Events, Form 
No. 43, and as many returns of attached and casuals of other branches, Form No. 42, as 
may be necessary to account for personnel of all branches attached to or casually with the 
organization or detachment. (Par. 13, Cir. 26, W. D., 1921.^ 

Form 43, A. G. O., in addition to shomng record of events should show all changes in 
commissioned personnel by name. (Cir. Letter No. 25, M. B., 1921.) 

When it is discovered that certain personnel has been carried erroneously on previous 
returns, correct returns for the period involved wiU be prepared and forwarded with a 
letter of explanation. Such personnel erroneously carried on previous returns wiU not be 
"dropped" from the ciu*rent return in order to make the figures balance. (Par. 21, Cir. 
26, W. D., 1921.) 

Absentees to be reported on Strength Returns of National Guard organizations. 

All personnel which would be available for a call wdthin a period of twelve hours should 
be carried as present. 

All personnel away from the city, town, or States and which would not be available 
for said call should be listed as Absent. (Cir. Letter M. B., No. 17, 1922.) 

COMPANY COUNCIL BOOK 

Contents. The company council book will contain a record of — 
a. Receipts and expenditures on account of the company fund, 
h. Property purchased from the fund, 

c. Monthly proceedings of company council of administration, 

d. Inspection of the account by battalion, regimental, or post commander required by 
Army Regulations. (Par. 87, Spec. Regs., 57.)

The Company Fund. The company fund, which consists of the gross amounts of 
money received from all sources, is received by the company commander and, with the con- 
currence of the company council, is disbursed by him solely for the benefit of the company 
and general comfort of the enlisted men thereof. (Par. 327, A. R.) (Par. 88, Spec. Regs., 
57.) 

The Company Council of Administration. A meeting of the company council 
will be held at the end of the month and whenever the fund is to be transferred, all officers 
on duty with the company attending, for the purpose of auditing the account, verifying the 
cash and bank balances and completing the account. (Par. 317, A. R.) The record of the 
company council of administration will be made monthly even though there be but one 
officer present for duty with the company, in which event he will make notation to that 
effect after his signature. (Par. 89, Spec. Regs,, 57.) 

Inspections. At least once each quarter, upon transfer of fund, and whenever neces- 
sary, the fund account will be inspected by battalion, regimental, or post commander. 
(Par. 328, A. R.) (Par. 90, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Authorized Expenditures. The company fund is not intended for expenditure in 
the purchase of articles to facilitate the transaction of business in a company. On the con- 
trary, the legitimate and proper application of this fund is in supplementing the articles 
furnished by the supply departments for the purpose of increasing the comfort, pleasure, 
contentment, and physical improvement of the enlisted personnel of the organization. To 
accomplish this purpose, disbursements of company funds are authorized; for all other pur- 
poses they are unauthorized. (Par. 106, C. of O.) Funds accruing to an organization as 
savings from the ration allowance will be used solely for the purchase of food or refreshments 
(par. 1220, A. R.); therefore it is necessary to keep the receipts and expenditures of "rations 
savings" separate from those of ''other funds" in the company council book. 

a Seeds for post gardens may be purchased from company funds. (Par. 343, A. R.) 
h. The purchase of heavy lounging chairs, writing tables, card tables, rugs, etc., to be 
placed in the company recreation room, is a proper expenditure from the company fund. 
(Op. J. A. G., Nov. 9, 1909.) 

c. Purchase of intoxicating liquors from company fund is not authorized. (Bui. 8; 
W. D., 1916.) 

d. Payment of man to look after pool table and payment for cultivating garden are 
authorized. (12240 .0. I. G.) 

e. Payment to room orderly or lavatory orderly is not authorized. (15052-a, O. I. G.) 
/. Extra pay cannot be paid to a statutory cook or mess sergeant, but may be paid to 

ordinary enhsted men detailed for cook's duty. (Bui. 47, W. D., 1916; par. 329, A. R.) 
g. Loaning of money from company fund is not permitted. 
h. Final statements may be cashed from the company fund. (Par. 181k.) 
i. The purchase of enamel ware and chopping bowls, when not obtainable from the 

quartermaster, is authorized. (Par. 91, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Instructions. The following instructions for keeping and administering the company 
fund will be followed : 

a. All expenditures from the company fund for food supplies of the authorized Hst of 
articles will be made through the quartermaster in accordance with the provisions of para- 
graph 1220A, Army Regulations, except when he is not able to supply them for immediate 
necessity, in which case they may be secured as provided in paragraph 322, Army Regula- 
tions. (Par. 174e.) 

h. (1) An entry will be made for each receipt or expenditure. Entries will be num- 
bered serially beginning with No. 1 for the first entry for the month. Entries will be made 
in the account for the month in which money is paid or received, regardless of the month or 
date when the expense was incurred or the amount accrued. 

267 



I 



(2) Entries for expenditures will give date of payment if different from date of entry, to 
whom paid, for what, and the amount. 

(3) Entries for receipts will give date of receipt if different from that of entry, from 
whom, for what, for what period (in case of post exchange dividends, etc.), and amount. 

(4) When an itemized statement cannot be secured or the statement is not supported 
by itemized delivery slips, itemization will be made in the entry. 

(5) Entries, whenever practicable, will be made at the time of the transaction and not 
left to accumulate until the end of the month. 

c. There must be a voucher for all funds received and for all funds expended. 

(1) In case of receipts the voucher will be from the person or organization paying the 
money. For example, when the company pool collections are turned over to the company 
commander a voucher of this tenor should accompany them: 

Camp Bradt, Md., June 30, 1919. 
Turned over to Capt. Marion L. Jones, 65th Inf., fifty dollars (S50.00), collections 
from the company pool table for June, 1919. John C. Plumber, 

Supply Sergeant, Co. "A", 65th Infantry. 

(2) In the case of expenditures the voucher will be from the person or organization 
receiving the money, and will ordinarily consist of a receipt accomplished on the statement 
of the account. Care should be exercised that the receipt definitely indicates the amount 
paid. To this end the amount should be in ink or indelible pencil and any changes therein 
should be authenticated. Should there be a number of separate transactions involved in a 
single statement they should be shown separately thereon so that the items may be checked 
against delivery slips, which may be destroyed following the audit by higher authority. 

(3) Should it not be practicable to secure the voucher as contemplated above it is the 
duty of the company commander to certify to the receipt or expenditure, noting the circum- 
stances. This certificate is then used as a voucher. 

(4) To facihtate inspection, vouchers for the current month v/ill be folded to fit an 
official envelope (being pasted on proper size paper if necessary), and briefed at the top of 
the outer fold: 

No. 6 

July 10, 1919 

$50.00 

(5) The vouchers for each month will be filed in order in an envelope marked "Vouchers 
1 to , inclusive, company fund for 19 — ." 

d. All changes and erasures in the company council book or any papers pertaining to 
it will be authenticated by the proper custodian's initials. (Par. 92, Spec. Ptegs., 57.) 

Transfer of Fund. a. If an officer is to be absent from the company for more than 10 
days he will regularly transfer the company fund to his successor. If he is absent for more 
than 3 and less than 1 1 days, memorandum receipt will be taken for the funds. (Par. 324, 
A. R.) 

b. When the fund is transferred, a certificate of the following form will be made on the 
next succeeding entry page of the council book: 

Camp Brady, Md., June 30. 1919. 

I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief the following is a complete and 
accurate statement of this company fund on this date: (Here follows a list of all outstand- 
ing debts and obligations payable from the company fund, all amounts due the company 
fund, and all outstanding checks pertaining to the company fund not reported bj' the bank; 
or a statement that there are no outstanding debts, amounts to be collected, or outstanding 
checks, as the case may be.) Marion L. Jones, 

Captain, d5th Infantry. 

268 



c. Immediately following this certificate will be written the receipt of the officer to 
whom the fund is transferred in the following form: 

Camp Brady, Md., June 30, 1919. 
Received from Capt. Marion L. Jones, 65th Infantry, fund of Company "A," 65th Inf., 
amounting to five hundred dollars ($500.00), as follows: 
In bank, $450.00. 
In cash, $50.00. Norman A. Smith, 

\st Lieut., Q5th Infantry. 

d. To transfer a company fund deposited in a bank, a letter of the following tenor will 
be written to the cashier of the bank: 

I have this date transferred the company fund of Company "A," 65th Infantry, to 
Lieut. Norman A. Smith, 65th Infantry, who will from now on have authority to draw on the 
fund deposited in your bank. His signature appears belov/. 



(Signature of officer receiving fund. ) 

Marion L. Jones, 
Captain, Q5th Infantry. 

e. Only in exceptional circumstances should the fund in bank be transferred by check, 
and when so transferred the number of the check drawn should be shown in the receipt above 
as follows: *'In bank (transferred by check from company fund) $450.00." 

/. Whenever a fund in bank is transferred a bank statement should be secured to check 
^he balanced account in the council book and check book. 

g. Should a transferring officer, in turning over a fund, fail to accomplish the transfer 
as herein provided, the receiving officer will decline to receive the fund until the commanding 
officer has been notified and action by him directed. (Par. 93, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Deposited in Bank. a. When placed in bank a company fund will be deposited in 
the name of the company, for instance, "Company Fund, Company 'A,' 65th Infantry," 
and checks drawn against the fund will be signed, for instance: "Company Fund, Company 
'A,' 65th Infantry: Marion L. Jones, Capt., 65th Inf., Custodi a. 

h. A bank statement will be secured at the end of each month and checked against 
balances in council book and check book. The latter will show on the stub the balance on 
hand after each check is drawn. (Par. 94, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Property Purchased. Under heading of "Property purchased from " 

in the front of the council book will be Hsted property of permanent nature such as tools, 
athletic supplies, etc., purchased from the company fund. (Par. 95, Spec. Regs., 57.) 

Filing, a. The company council book, with current vouchers, is filed in rear of the 
correspondence book and document file in the miscellaneous tray. When filled and all 
monthly accounts recorded therein have been inspected by the battalion, regimental, or 
post commander and an inspector general, the balances will be transferred to the new com- 
pany council book and the completed book will be filed in the five-year file. 

b. After the fund has been subjected to the routine inspection of the battalion or post 
commander, and after the inspection by an inspector general, the vouchers for the period 
may pass into the possession of the officer who, as company commander, has been responsible 
for the receipts and expenditures accounted for in these vouchers; or, if he is absent, they 
may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as he may have directed. (Pars. 210 and 213c.) 
(Par. 96, Spec. Regs., 57.)

1. Definition of "Communication." — Unless otherwise indicated, the word 
"communication" as used in this pamphlet includes all official writings to which the regu- 
lations herein prescribed are not obviously inapplicable, and includes particularly official 
letters, memorandums, reports, indorsements, telegrams, cablegrams, and radiograms. 

2. Correspondence to be limited. — Written correspondente should be resorted to 
only when necessary ovring to the physical separation of the parties concerned, or in the 
exceptional case in which the nature of the business requires a written record. Personal 
or local telephonic conference should be the rule, record being made by those concerned 
v.-hen necessary-. 

3. Unnecessary reports not to be called for. — When desired information may be 
obtained from records contained in files which are available to the person desiring the in- 
formation, neither subordinates nor others will be called upon to furnish it from any other 
source. 

4. Signature by a subordinate. — Except as otherwise prescribed by the Secretary 
of War, a commander, or chief of a branch, or other official, may require a suitable officer 
subordinate to himself to sign certain communications for him. When he does so, however, 
he is as fully responsible for a communication so signed as though he himself had signed it. 
In any such case a communication to a superior will be signed by the chief of staff, adjutant, 

271 



or other ofl&cer occupying a corresponding position, and any other communication will 
ordinarily be signed by an adjutant, or other officer occupying a corresponding position. 

5. Courtesy in correspondence. — In official correspondence between officers of ^he 
Army or between officers of the Army and officials of other branches of the public service, 
and especially in matters involving questions of jurisdiction, conflict of authority, or dispute, 
officers of the Army are reminded that their correspondence should be courteous in tone and 
free from any expression partaking of a personal nature or that might give offense. When- 
ever questions of such character shall arise between officers of the Army and officials of other 
branches of the public service, and it is found that they can not be reconciled by an inter- 
change of courteous correspondence, the officer of the Army, as the representative of the 
interests of the War Department in the matter involved, will make a full presentation of 
the case to the Secretary of War through the proper military channels, in order that the 
same may be properly considered. 

6. Contents not to be revealed. — The contents of official communications will not 
be revealed except to those officially entitled to receive them, or in cases specially ordered 
by competent authority. 

7. Prompt reply to be made. — a. Reply thereto will, when practicable, be made 
within 24 hours after receipt of a communication requiring reply, and in any event will be 
made as soon after such receipt as circumstances permit. 

b. When for any sufficient reasoa it is impossible to make full and prompt reply to a 
communication received and requiring reply, acknowledgement of receipt of the communi- 
cation will be made at once, with a statement giving the cause of the anticipated delay, and 
giving the date on which reply will probably be forw^arded. 

c. Commanding officers v/ill take such steps as they may deem expedient to insure 
prompt reply by members of their commands to official communications sent them which 
require reply. 

8. Delayed action. — When action on a communication forwarded to higher authority 
appears to be unduly delayed, a communication of mquiry with reference thereto, preferably 
accompanied by a copy, will be forv/arded through the same channels as that on which 
action appears to have been unduly delayed, and the office of origin may, it so desired, re- 
quest that if the original is not available, the action sought by the original be taken on such 
copy, instead. In any case of such request intermediate officers will take appropriate action 
on the copy as though it were the original. In the absence of such request for action on the 
copy, intermediate officers will include in their indorsements, ordinarily stamped, on the 
communication of inquiry, appropriate available information with reference to the missing 
paper, such as "Forwarded ," or "No record." 

9. Certain communications not to be forwarded. — Unimportant and trivial 
communications need not be forwarded to The Adjutant General of the Army simply 
because addressed to hiin. Division and higher commanders should decide whether a 
communication is of sufficient importance to be forwarded. 

10. Certain correspondence with recruiting service prohibited. — Correspondence 
with the personnel of the general recruiting service with a view to obtaining or furnishing 
recruits for particular commands, either by the acceptance of applicants or by the assign- 
ment of recruits, is prohibited, except — 

a. Between commanding officers and recruiting officers in charge of the districts to 
which their commands are respectively allocated for recruiting, or within which their com- 
mands are respectively represented or are to be represented by a recruiting party or parties. 

b. With reference to the particular case, between a commanding officer and any re- 
cruiting officer to whom an apparently qualified person shall have applied for enlistment 
and assignment, under current authority, to the command of such commanding officer. 

11. Views of local judge advocate. — When a commanding or other officer, who has 
upon his staff an available judge advocate, submits to the War Department 

272 



any matter involving a legal question, he will submit therewith an expression of the views 
of such judge advocate. 

12. Requests for official opinions. — Unless otherwise expressly authorized by 
statute, requests for the official opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army, or of 
an officer of any executive department of the Government other than the War Department, 
will be addressed to The Adjutant General of the Army. Abstract questions will not be 
presented. 

13. Comptroller's decisions to be sent to Judge Advocate General. — All de- 
cisions received from the Comptroller of the Treasury by disbursing officers on their own 
application or appeal, and all decisions of the Comptroller of the Treasury received in anj 
office in the War Department, will be sent to the Judge Advocate General of the Army for 
notation and return. 

14. Record keeping and business methods. — a. No record shall be kept in any 
office at a military headquarters respecting any communication properly pertaining to the 
business of any other officer of the same headquarters in which an established correspond- 
ence record or file is kept, but record of the communication shall be kept, if at all, only in the 
office m which such record or file is kept. Information v^'ith reference to such communica- 
tion shall be obtained from such record or file, on application therefor, as occasion may 
require, For example, no record will ordinarily be kept in the office of the adjutant, of 
a communication pertaining to the business of the office of the quartermaster, and, except 
as otherwise prescribed by the Secretary of War, record will ordinarily be kept in the 
office of the adjutant only of such communications as do not pertain to the business of 
any other office. 

b. Official communications received in any office will be opened promptly and each 
will then at once be stamped with the name of the office and date of receipt. The received 
stamp will be placed immediately below the body of the communication, or of the indorse- 
ment, as the case may be. Communications pertaining to the business of the office will at 
once be separated from those pertaining to the business of other offices, and the latter will 
then at once be sent to the offices to which they respectively pertain. 

c. Each staff officer v.ill cause proper action to be taken without unnecessary delay 
upon communications received by him. Cases which are within the scope of his authority, 
he himself will act upon. In those which require action by or for the commander, he will 
so far as practicable, prepare for signature appropriate letters, indorsements, or other papers, 
and will submit them, accompanied by all pertinent papers, ordinarily to the adjutant, or 
to the officer occupymg a correspondmg position, for signature by him, in special cases to 
some other officer, or to the commander himself. 

d. When necessary, a staff officer will, prior to preparing papers in a particular case 
for signature by or for the commander, or prior to taking other similarly final action thereon, 
submit the case, with appropriate pertinent information, the reasons for his recommenda- 
tion, if any, and when appropriate, his reccommendation therein, all either orally or in 
writing to — 

(1) The adjutant, or to 

(2) The officer occupying a corresponding position, or to 

(3) The chief of staff, or 

(4) In special cases, and when authorized, to the commander in person. 
For information or instructions, or both. 

e. When acted upon by or for the commander the papers in a case ^Yill without delay 
be sent to the proper office for appropriate action, and they will then be promptly dis- 
posed of, i. e., filed, referred, for.varded, transmitted, or returned.

15. General. — a. Except as otherwise prescribed by the Secretary of War, communi- 
cations, v/hether from a subordinate to a superior, or vice versa, will pass through inter- 
mediate commanders. This rule will not be interpreted as including matters in relation to 
which mtermediate commanders can have no knowledge, and over which they are not 
expected to exercise control. Chiefs of War Department branches and bureaus are inter- 
mediate commanders between higher authority and the personnel of their respective branches 
or bureaus, who are serving under the exclusive control of themselves and their subordinates. 

h. Unless otherwise authorized, a communication from a superior to a subordinate 
will ordmarily be answered through the same channel as received, but such a communication 
may be answered through another channel when a persom or persons in such other channel 
should have knowledge of, or may be expected to exercise control over the subject-matter. 
In the latter case a copy, showing the action taken, will be sent through the channel by 
which the communication was received. 

c. When necessity requires that a communication from a subordinate to a superior be 
sent through other than the prescribed channel, the necessity therefor will be stated in or 
Vv^ith such communication.

use of both sides of the sheet, and, except for matter which is mimeographed or otherwise 
reproduced, one side of a sheet, only, will be used in all communications and inclosures. 

47. Use of rubber stamps. — Rubber stamps will be used in lieu of typing for all 
purposes for which, and in all cases in which, the use of such stamps appears to be practicable

1, AR 340-10), and will be known as "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letters. 

b. The principal purpose in providing for "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letters is to 
reduce to a minimum the great expense incident to telegraphic communication, and to 
prevent overloading the telegraph service and thus interfering with the transmission of 
urgent messages by that service. To this end "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letter paper and 
envelopes will, so far d,s practicable, be used : 

(1) For all letter communications that upon receipt should receive immediate 
attention and prompt action, rather than be handled in the routine way. 

281 



(2) For ail urgent communications v/hich might otherwise be sent by telegraph, but 

which, if sent by mail, would ordinarily reach the addressee at such time as 

to enable him to give appropriate attention to them, and initiate appropriate 

action on them, at a sufficiently early hour on the day following dispatch. 

"IMMEDIATE ACTION" letter paper and envelopes will not be used for the 

purpose of expediting action on communications which do not actually require 

immediate attention and prompt action upon receipt. 

c. When an "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letter is received in an office it v/ill be brought 
at once to the attention of the officer whose business it is to cause proper action to be taken 
thereon. In any case all action necessary on an "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letter will be 
initiated immediately upon receipt thereof and will be completed without unnecessary delay. 

53. "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letters, paper for.— a. The first sheet and the last 
sheet of the original of an "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letter, and of the original of each 
indorsement thereon, will ordinarily have in RED, on the face, in addition to other author- 
ized matter, if any: 

(1) A border 3^ inch in width, the outer edges of the border coinciding with the 

edges of the paper. When printed locally this border may be broken to such 
extent as is made necessary by the mechanical limitations of the equipment 
on which it is printed. In the absence of printed "IMMEDIATE ACTION ' ' 
paper, the border will be omitted. 

(2) The v^ords "IMMEDIATE ACTION", in bold faced capital letters, at the top 

and bottom, spaces being left in the border for these words. 

b. For intermediate sheets of the original, and for all sheets of the carbon or other 
copies of "IMMEDIATE ACTION" letters, ordinary letter paper, without the border or 
caption herein prescribed, will be used, but the first sheet and the last sheet of each copy 
of the letter and of each indorsement thereon will be conspicuously stamped or otherwise 
marked, at both top and bottom, "IMMEDIATE ACTION." 

c. Paper prepared as prescribed in a will be known as "IMMEDIATE ACTION" 
paper. 

54. Heading of letter, general. — For all letters to be signed by a subordinate for or 
by order of a chief of a branch or bureau, or for or by order of i: commander, or other similar 
official, the letter heading used will be that of the headquarters and office of such chief, 
commander, or other official, and it will not contain the title of any subordinate office, e. g., 

a. For all letters to be signed for or by order of the Quartermaster General of the Army, 
the letter heading used will be that of the War Department, Office of the Quartermaster 
General, and it will not contain the title of any subordinate office, such as that of an assistant, 
or a chief of service, or any other officer. 

b. For all letters to be signed for or by order of a department or corps area commander, 
whether by the chief of staff, or the adjutant, or some other officer, the letter heading used 
will be that of the headquarters and office of the department or corps area commander, and 
it will not contain the title of any subordinate office, such as that of the chief of staff, or the 
adjutant or any other officer. 

55. Heading of letter, contents, arrangement. — a. The upper third of the first 
sheet of each letter, will, except as to additional matter in "IMMEDIATE ACTION" 
paper, be devoted solely to the matter described in this paragraph, none of which will be 
less than one inch from the top. 

b. (1) The heading of a letter from an office will contain the following (see paragraph 
56), arranged as indicated in (2), below, item (a) or item (6) being omitted in proper cases.

(a) One will be forwarded with the communication to the recipient who is finally 
to approve, disapprove, or take other principal action on the communication.

(c) One, when a third copy is made, will be retained by the writer until no longer 
required by him, when it may be destroyed.

or, from an individual, will withdraw one copy thereof for its records. No other immediate 
recipient of a communication will withdraw a copy thereof. 

c. When the original of a communication which has been finally approved, disapproved, 
or otherwise acted upon by the authority competent so to do, is sent out of the office in 
which so finally approved, disapproved, or otherwise acted upon, the complete copy thereof 
received with it, including the copy of each indorsement, will be filed in such office. 

d. When the original of a communication which has been finally approved, disapproved, 
or otherwise acted upon by the authority competent so to do, is about to be filed in the office 
in which so finally approved, disapproved, or otherwise acted upon and there is no sub- 
stantial reason for anticipating that such original will again be put in correspondence, and 
there is no other substantial reason for retaining the copy thereof received with it, such copy, 
including the copy of each indorsement, will be destroyed. If there is substantial reason 
for anticipating that the original will again be put in correspoT^dence, or there is other sub- 
stantial reason for retaining the copy, the latter, including the copy of each indorsement, 
will be retained and filed with the original. 

e. When the original of a communication which has been finally approved, disapproved, 
or otherwise acted upon by the authority competent so to do, is about to be filed in the office 
of origin, or in the first office of record through which it was transmitted, and there is no 
substantial reason for anticipating that such original will again be put in correspondence, 
and there is no other substantial reason for retaining the copy thereof there on file, the latter, 
including the copy of each indorsement, may be destroyed. 

65. Records for intermediate recipients. — a. An intermediate recipient of a com- 
munication will make and retain such copy or other record thereof, if any, as is required. 
Such record will show, as briefly as practicable, only such facts as are requisite. In making 
a record of a commimication bearing a file number of an office other than that in which the 
record is being made, such file number, together with office mark and date, will be included. 

h. Except in the office of origin, or in the first office of record through which it is trans- 
mitted, and in the office which finally approves, disapproves, or takes other principal action 
thereon, no record will, as a rule, be kept of a communication relating solely to an individual 
and not disciplinary in nature, unless the action taken is such that a record appears partic- 
ularly to be desirable, or unless the office to which the communication is addressed does not 
finally approve, disapprove, or take other principal action thereon, in which case a record 
will be made and kept by the office^to v/hich such communication is addressed. 

286 



•66. Folding. — a. Letter paper will ordinarily be folded in three equal folds, parallel 
with the bottom, the lower fold over the face of the letter and the top fold toward the back 
of the letter. 

6. When a window envelope is used, the communication will be similarly folded but 
in such manner as to conform to the requirements of paragraph 55 d. 

c. When several communications are to be mailed at the same time by an office or 
individual to another office or mdividual at one address, they will, so far as practicable, be 
mailed together in one envelope. When the number or bulk is sufficient to warrant, they 
will be mailed fiat in an envelope of appropriate size, in which case the envelope will bear 
conspicuously at both top and bottom the words "Letter Mail."

communication to which they pertain will, when practicable, accompany the inclosures 
under the separate cover and the required inclosure notations on the commimication to 
which they pertain will contain appropriate special notation of the facts as to forwarding 
the inclosures and copy under separate cover.

d. In lieu of the regulations with reference to copies and records (paragraphs 63 and 
64) the following will govern: 

(1) One carbon or other copy, only, will ordinarily be made, and this only in cases 

in which the communication is of such character as to warrant retaining a 
record thereof. If additional copies are required for special purposes, such 
as furnishing to some one concerned, etc., they will be made. 

(2) If the communication is ot such character as to warrant retaining a record thereof, 

one carbon or other copy thereof will be retained for the records of the writer. 
If the writer is an individual, the retained copy may be destroyed v/hen no 
longer required by him. 

(3) Ordinarily no copy thereof will be forvv^arded with the comminication, but one 

or more may be so forw^arded when desirable in a particular case. 

e. Indorsements (paragraphs 67-73) will not ordinarily be used, but when used, may 
when desirable, contain such expressions as "Respectfully referred," "Respectfully trans- 
mitted," "Respectfully forwarded," and "Respectfully returned." 

Form of Signature. For the purpose of securing uniformity throughout the National 
Guard, all officers in signing official papers should add their, rank; numerical designation 
of regiment; arm, corps or department, and name of their State followed by "National 
Guard", e. g., Captain, 171st Field Artillery, Illinois National Guard. Major, Medical 
Corps, Virginia National Guard. (Cir. Let. No. 75, M. B., Nov. 24, 1920.) 

Signature of Coast Artillery officers. 

For the purpose of securing uniformity. Coast Artillery officers in signing official papers 
should indicate their rank and status as follows: — 

(a) For officers assigned to anti-aircraft units. Major — th Artillery (Anti-aircraft) 
New Hampshire National Guard. 

(6) For officers assigned to fixed defences. Captain, Coast Artillery Corps, Maine 
National Guard. (Letter 325, 4-A. M. B., Oct. 15, 1921.) 

Correspondence direct with Militia Bureau. 

The Militia Bureau recognizes the fact that not only are the instructors intended 
to be of service to the National Guard but also that the officers in the Bureau itself 
may prove to be useful as advisors to individuals in search of information. It should 
therefore be understood that the services of the officers on duty in the Militia Bureau in 
charge of the various branches are at the command of the National Guardsmen. 

This is not to be construed as an invitation to disregard the regulations concerning the 
proper use of official channels for military correspondence. The State Adjutants General 
and the Corps Area Commanders should, of course, have the opportunity of reviewing the 
matters that, under the regulations come within their respective jurisdictions, but on many 
questions requiring information or suggestion rather than official action the officers on duty 
in the Militia Bureau may hereafter be consulted freely either verbally or by direct personal 
letter. Such letters should be addressed to. 

Militia Bureau, War Department, Washington, D.C." 

It is clear that the privilege herein extended may be abused. The MiHtia Bureau hopes 
that this will not occur and it relies on the good sense of the National Guard officers to see 
that the Bureau is not flooded with a mass of correspondence concerning minutiae of the 
Drill Regulations, etc., that would defeat the purpose of the suggested plan. Interpreta- 
tion of the Drill Regulations and kindred matters should be left with the instructors, 

294 



but where the latter cannot assist or where delay is to be avoided or a just complaint 
submitted or sources of dissatisfaction to be investigated (such as the failure of shipments 
of equipment to arrive within a reasonable time) — these and like matters may be pre- 
sented expeditiously by personal letter to the Militia Bureau officer concerned, who will 
endeavor to obtain the information desired and to forward a prompt reply or to secure a 
proper remedy. 

Through the measures suggested in this letter, it is hoped that in the future delays and 
misunderstandings may to a greater extent be avoided, that the field of usefulness of the 
Militia Bureau may be further extended and that the feeling of harmony and mutual 
respect between the two branches of our nation's military service may be strengthened. 
(Letter 325.3 M. B., Feb. 1920.)

ARTICLE VI 

Training and Instruction 

A. GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Discipline of National Guard. The discipline (which includes training) of the 
National Guard shall conform to the system which is now or may hereafter be prescribed for 
the Regular Army, and the. training shall be carried out by the several States, Territories, 
and the District of Columbia so as to conform to the provisions of this Act. (Sec. 91, 
N. D. A.) 

Training of the National Guard. Each company, troop, battery, and detachment 
in the National Guard shall assemble for drill and instruction, including indoor target 
practice, not less than forty-eight times each year, and shall, in addition thereto, participate 
in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, including outdoor target practice, at least 
fifteen days in training each year, including target practice, unless such company, troop, 
battery, or detachment shall have been excused from participation in any part thereof by 
the Secretary of War. (Sec. 92, N. D. A.) 

Duties of the Militia Bureau in Instruction and Training, (a) Recommenda- 
tion to the Chief of Staff as to the general plans, policies and regulations affecting the in- 
struction and training of the National Guard when it is not in the Federal service. 

(6) Preparation of the necessary orders and detailed instructions to make effective the 
approved plans, policies and regulations, and promulgation of these orders and instructions 
when approved by the Secretary of War. 

(c) Preparation of manuals of instruction for the officers and enlisted men of the 
Regular Army on duty with the National Guard and pubHcation of same when approved 
by the Secretary of War. (G. O., No. 6, W. D., 1922.) 

Corps Area Commanders and Training. 

The duties of department and Corps Area Commanders are — * * * 
Supervision of all armory and field instruction. * * * 

Control of all instructors, commissioned and noncommissioned, assigned to stations 
-or units within the department or corps area. (G. O. 6, W. D., 1922.) 

Training Schedules and Standards. In preparing schedules for training the 
National Guard, the limited time available and the intermittent character of the work 
require the maximum concentration upon those subjects which are the most essential. It 
can not be expected that the standards of efficiency to be attained will be equal to those 
established for troops which devote their entire time to military service. (Training Policy, 
M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Training Schedule for Entire Year. The prescribing of a training schedule appK ~ 
cable to all the National Guard troops of any service is impracticable. Local conditions 
will vary widely; some units are new from captain to private, others have had considerable 
experience and know how to function as a team. The situation which confronts the com- 
panies should be thoroughly understood by the regimental commander who is expected to 
visit and observe and assist all the organizations in his command. Schedules of armory 
instruction will be prepared by the Regular Army Instructor, detailed for duty with an 
organization of the National Guard, after consultation with the commanding officer of the 
organization. These schedules, after approval by the proper State official, should be 
published for the guidance of the officers who are responsible for the execution of the pro- 

296 



gram. Training schedules for the summer encampment will be similarly prepared but 
transmitted by the Instructor to the Corps Area Commander for final action. In the 
preparation of the Instruction schedules the latest training memoranda of the different 
services and the standards of proficiency which have been adopted in the training of the 
Regular Army will be available. The proper application of the information contained in 
such manuals will rest with the judgment and initiative of the respective commanders. 
Full consideration will be given to the time limits involved, which, as a rule, cannot be 
extended. Ordinarily seventy two (72) hours per year will be the maximum time which 
can be devoted to armory instruction and not more than fifteen (15) days will be available 
for field training. Manifestly selection must be made of those features of Regular Army 
training which are considered the most important and the most practicable of apphcation. 
For the present year emphasis must be laid on such features to the complete exclusion of 
other subjects which have a place in the annual program of instruction in the Regular 
Army but which must be postponed in the case of the National Guard. No combined 
maneuvers will be prescribed without special authority from the Militia Bureau, War 
Department. Subject to the above instructions the armory training schedule will be 
arranged so that it constitutes a first period of a general program, the natural ending of 
which will be the summer outdoor period. When practicable neither part should include 
exercises which could be better covered in the other period of the program. (Training 
Policy, M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.)

General Scheme of Training. C. Instruction in subjects, other than those listed 
in sections A and B, will be given only when authorized by the corps area commander. 
Such authority should not be given unless the organization in question is reported by the 
instructor in immediate supervision thereof, as proficient in the subjects listed in A and B. 
Instruction in subjects that entail an expenditure of Federal funds, such as firing (other 
than the prescribed small arms firing) and use of gas, etc., will not be authorized without 
the sanction of the Militia Bureau of the War Department. (Letter M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Specialization in Training. This limitation on time is a fundamental consideration 
which must be recognized not only in the general training policy but in preparing the 
schedules of instruction and arranging the details of execution. The National Guard 
officer or noncommissioned officer is not expected to become a competent instructor in all 
of the technical and tactical details and the solution of the problem must be found in such 
a division of work as will permit individuals to concentrate on only a part of the whole duty. 
Their work must be so laid out as to permit officers and noncommissioned officers to special- 
ize on one or at least a few subjects and then be developed so that they can perfect them- 
selves to a point where their own efforts as instructors will be valuable as coming from one 
who has specialized on the particular subjects considered. The methods known as the 
block system are calculated to meet such a situation as confronts the National Guard, and 
where applicable, it is recommended that the system be followed for a part of each training 
day. (Training Policy, M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

The "Block" System of Instruction. The "Block" system of instruction of units 
has been tried out in a few States and has given satisfactory results. 

The system divides the complete course of instruction necessary to produce a well 
trained unit into "blocks" and requires each individual, squad and platoon to become pro- 
ficient in the subjects embraced by each block before passing into the next block of group 
of subjects. This system presupposes the existence of experts who are to act as Instructors 
in their particular branch. Some newly formed National Guard units do not include in 
their personnel the number of experts required by this system and it has been suggested 
^hat an intensive course of training at the 15 day field training period would provide block 
instructors for the organizations not already provided with them. The progress of this 
system is being carefully observed by the Militia Bureau and if results warrant it, recom- 
mendation will be made to extend the system to the entire National Guard. (Address, 
C. M. B., Dec. 12, 1921.) 

B. ATTENDANCE AT ARMY SERVICE SCHOOLS 

Officers at Service Schools. When authorized by the President, upon the recom- 
mendation of the governors of their respective States or Territories or of the commanding 
general of the District of Columbia Militia, officers of the National Guard may attend and 
pursue a regular course of study at any general or special service school except the United 
States Mihtary Academy. The number and character of Army service schools to which 
National Guard officers are eligible will be published from time to time in circulars from 
the Mihtia Bureau. (Par. 494, N. G. R., '22.) 

Applications for admission to service schools v/ill be submitted through military chan- 
nels in time to reach the Chief of the Militia Bureau at least two months before the com- 
mencement of the school year. (Par. 495, N. G. R., '22.) 

Information as to Schools may be had fron the Adjutant General of the State. 

Attendance of National Guard Officers at Army Service Schools. In accordance 
with the provisions of Paragraph 494, National Guard Regulations, the following details 
concerning the attendance of National Guard officers at the Army Service Schools are 
pubHshed for the information and guidance of all concerned: 

299 



1. General Service School. 

There will be no special courses for National Guard officers at the General Service 
Schools (The School of the Line and the General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth and the 
General Staff College at Washington D. C.,) National Guard Officers detailed to these 
schools will take the full and complete course of instruction and will be on the same footing 
as to qualifications, grading, selection for advanced courses, etc., as regular officers. In 
order to be eligible for detail to the General Staff School or General Staff College an officer 
must have satisfactorily completed the course at the Service School immediately below it 
in the chain of education. (See Paragraph 21, General Orders 112, War Department, 1919.) 

Specially qualified officers who have had experience during the World War may submit 
applications to take the course of instruction at the School of the Line. Applications to 
take this course, giving previous service, educational qualifications and bearing the approval 
of higher commanders must be submitted through channels to the Militia Bureau. 

The number of officers who may be detailed to take this course of instruction will 
depend upon the accommodations available at the School and the funds available for this 
purpose. 

2. Special Service Schools. 

Special courses of instruction as indicated below for classes of National Guard officers 
have been arranged at the following Special Service Schools: 

(a) The Infantry School, Camp Benning, Ga. 

To attend Infantry School at Camp Benning, Ga., Infantry Officers not above the 
grade of Captain at the rate of two per regiment. 

(b) The Cavalry School, Fort Riley, Kansas. 

To attend Cavalry School at Fort Riley, Kansas. Cavalry Officers not above the 
grade of Captain at the rate of two per regiment. 

(c) The Field Artillery School, Fort Sill, Okla. 

To attend Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Okla. Artillery Field or Line officers at 
the rate of one per battalion. 

(d) The Coast Artillery School at Fort Monroe, Va. 

To attend the Coast Artillery School at Fort Monroe, Va. One Coast Artillery Officer 
per company. 

(e) Tank Corps School, Camp Meade, Md. 

To attend the Tank School at Camp Meade, Md. One officer per company. 

The courses of instruction at all the above Special Service Schools have been arranged 
with the idea of developing instructors for the different branches of the Service. It is 
desired to send to these Schools the maximum number of officers allowed by appropriations 
and the facihties available at the school. Adjutants General will submit to the Militia 
Bureau the names of officers recommended by them for detail to the above schools. 

3. Schools for Medical Officers. 

a. Army Medical School, Washington, D. C. 

Arrangements have been made with the Surgeon General for not to exceed five medical 
officers of the National Guard to attend the course at the Army Medical School, Washington, 
D. C. The course at this school lasts for about eight months. 

Adjutants General are requested to notify all recognized medical officers of their States 
of the above, and to forward such applications as they approve for medical officers to attend 
this school. 
h. Field School for the Medical Dept., Carlisle, Pa. 

Under date of May 15, 1920, the Adjutant General of the Army approved the applica- 
tion of the Surgeon General for the development of a Field School for the Medical Depart- 
ment on the Carlisle Military Reservation, in Pennsylvania. The establishment of this 
school is in keeping with the policy announced in General Orders 112, War Department, 

300 



1919. The date of the opening of this School is not at present known; upon opening it will 
receive medical, dental and veterinary officers. Notice will be given later of the opening of 
this school and an opportunity given National Guard medical, dental and veterinary officers 
to apply to take the course. 

4. National Guard officers attending the service schools will be entitled to the same 
pay (not above that of Captain), quarters, etc., while actually in attendance at the school 
and the same travel allowances to and from the school as are officers of the Regular Army. 

5. It is desired that especial care be given to the selection of student officers and that 
the}^ be selected for their natural military aptitude and with a view to utilizing their services 
to the maximum as instructors. It must be understood that the taking of the course of 
instruction at any of the above schools is entirely voluntary on the part of the officer con- 
cerned, and no officer should be recommended to take any one of the courses who does not 
desire the same. (Cir. Let. No. 36, M. B., 1920.) 

Attendance of National Guard officers at the Infantry School. The special 
object of this course is to develop instructors for the Infantry arm of the service, and State 
authorities should select officers on the basis of their probable aptitude and availability 
for this particular work. As the number of officers who can be detailed will be restricted 
by the limited appropriation it will be the poHcy of the Militia Bureau to send officers who 
represent organizations which now have no graduates of the Infantry School. 

Application should show the organization and post office address of the candidates and 
recommendations should indicate the order of preference in case it is impossible to detail 
the full number who apply. 

Officers who receive certificates of proficiency from the Infantry School, will be exempt, 
for a period of five years, from examination in the subjects in which they qualify. 

So far as pay of the Officers remaining on duty with the National Guard organizations 
is concerned, students attending Army Service Schools will be considered as present for duty 
during armory drills and instruction. 

The attention of candidates is invited to Paragraphs 494-502, inclusive, National Guard 
Regulations, 1922. Student officers will be housed in barracks. No accommodations v/ill 
be available at the post for student officers' families and it is practically impossible to rent 
suitable places of abode in Columbus, Georgia, the nearest city. Officers for the next class 
must be selected from among those who will not require quarters for dependents. (Letter 
M. B., 352, Infantry, July 11, 1921.) 

The selection of officers of the National Guard for attendance at Service Schools, 
is made by the Militia Bureau by correspondence through the Adjutants General of the 
States, to whom, from time to time, the directions are furnished. Application should there- 
fore be made to the Adjutant General of the State for correct information as to character 
of courses open to National Guard officers and enlisted men and dates of attendance. 

Enlisted Men at Service Schools. When authorized by the President, upon recom- 
mendation of governors of their respective States or Territories or the commanding general 
of the District of Columbia Militia, enlisted men of the National Guard maj-- attend and 
pursue a regular course of study at any service school appropriate to their arm of the ser- 
vice and to which enlisted men of the Regular Army are eligible. The number and 
character of service schools to which enlisted men of the National Guard are eligible v,ill 
be published from time to time in circulars from the Militia Bureau. (Par. 504, N. G. 
R., 22.) 

Appointment to West Point. Under the provisions of section 2, act of Congress ap- 
proved May 4, 1916, the President is authorized to appoint cadets to the United States 
Mihtary Academy from among enlisted men divided in number as nearly equal as practic- 
able between the Regular Army and the National Guard, between the ages of 19 and 22 
years, who have served as enhsted men not less than one year, to be selected under such 
regulations as the President may prescribe. 

301 



These appointments will be made on the recommendations of the governors of the 
several States and Territories and the commanding general, District of Columbia Militia, 
and correspondence relative thereto should be forwarded direct to The Adjutant General 
of the Army. (Par. 503, N. G. R., '22.) 

Qualifications for Service School. In order to be eligible for detail to attend special 
service schools, enhsted men of the National Guard must be of sound health, of good moral 
character, and must have such educational qualifications as will enable them to participate 
profitably in the regular course of instruction at the school. (Par. 505, N. G. R., '22.) 

Application for Service School. As a necessary preliminary to obtaining permis- 
sion to attend a service school enlisted men of the National Guard must be recommended 
to the Secretary of War by the governors of their respective States. The recommendation 
in each case should be accompanied (a) by information as to the age of the applicant and 
length and character of his service in the National Guard, the course he desires to pursue, 
his educational qualifications, and his experience and instruction, if any, in the kind of work 
for which he requests instruction; and (b) by satisfactory evidence that the applicant is 
of sound health and of good moral character. (Par. 506, N. G. R., '22.) 

Pay of Officers and Enlisted Men. National Guard officers and enlisted men are 
entitled to increased pay provided for the regular army by the Act of May 18, 1920, while 
attending Army Service Schools under proper orders. (Cir. Let. No. 61, M. B., Oct. 15, 
1920.) 

Accommodations for families of National Guard Officers attending Army 
Service Schools. In connection with the details set forth in Circular Letter No. 38, this 
Bureau, dated June 18, 1920, relating to the detail of National Guard Officers as students 
at the various service schools, it is desired that all prospective candidates for such detail 
be informed that there will be no accommodations at such schools for their famihes. Re- 
ports from the schools indicate also that it is practically impossible to obtain suitable 
quarters for famihes in the vicinity of the schools. 

Officers having families, who attend these schools, will be entitled while present laws 
remain in force, to commutation of quarters for their families while in attendance thereat. 
(Cir. Letter No. 37, M. B., 1920.) 

Allowances of enlisted nien on school details. The Comptroller under date of 
January 26, 1921, decided that enhsted men of the National Guard detailed under the 
provisions of Section 99 to attend a military service school for a regular course of study or 
a school at or near an Army post for routine practical instruction, are entitled to transporta- 
tion and to rations in kind, or commutation therefor, for the time properly consumed in 
traveling to and from the school etc., and all Property and Disbursing Officers are directed 
to comply with the above decision in settlement of such expense accounts, incurred sub- 
sequent to January 25, 1921. (Letter M. B., 352.4 General, Feb. 16, 1921.) 

Allowances for Dependents while traveling. The subject of whether officers and 
enlisted men of the National Guard authorized to attend and pursue a regular course of 
study at military service schools or attached to an organization of the same arm, corps, or 
department to which the officer or enlisted men belongs for routine practical instruction 
(Section 99 of the Act of June 3, 1916) were entitled to commutation of quarters for their 
dependents during the time consumed in travel to and from the school or organization was 
submitted to the Comptroller of the Treasury for decision. In reply, the Comptroller, 
under date of June 3, 1920, states that such offi.cers and men are only entitled to commuta- 
tion of quarters for dependents while such officers and men are in actual attendance at the 
school, or with the Army organization, vrhich is similar to his decision of November 28, 
1919, regarding pay for such members. The commutation of quarters, etc., for dependents, 
while the officers and men are at the school, is, bj law, authorized only to June 30, 1922. 

In view of the above, all Property and Disbursing Officers are directed to comply with 
the above decisions in settlement of expense accounts of officers and enlisted men of the 

302 



National Guard, performed under the provisions of Section 99 of the Act of June 3, 1916, 
and if any payment for commutation of quarters for dependents has been paid for the time 
the officer or enhsted man was travehng, im.mediate steps should be taken to have the 
overpayment refunded. (Letter M. B., June 16, 1920.) 

Discharge and Reenlistment. Upon receipt of authority to attend an Army serv- 
ice school enlisted men will be discharged and reeniisted for the organization to which they 
belonged, in order that the United States will derive the benefit of the service of such men 
for a full term of enlistment, and that no discharges will accrue while in attendance at Army 
Service Schools. (Par. 507, N. G, R., '22.) 

Uniform at Service School. Enlisted men attending a service school must be pro- 
vided with the proper uniforms of the organization to which they belong. (Par. 507, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

C. OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE NATIONAL GUARD ATTACHED TO THE 
REGULAR ARMY FOR INSTRUCTION 

Applications. When authorized by the President, upon the recommendation of the 
governors of their respective States, a limited number of selected officers or enlisted men 
of the National Guard may be attached to the Regular Army for routine practical instruc- 
tion at or near an Army post during a period of field training or other outdoor exercises. 
Applications for detail to duty with regular troops should be submitted through military 
channels in time to reach the Chief of the Militia Bureau at least two months before the 
commencement of the exercises. (Par. 512, N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlisted Men Limited to N. C. O. Applications from enlisted men vrill be limited 
to those v/ho are noncommissioned officers, and the complete record and history of- military 
service will be submitted with each application. (Par. 513, N. G. R., '22.) 

ARMORY DRILL AND INSTRUCTION 

Prescribed Course of Instruction. Training courses for each arm. and corps will be 
published by the War Department. It will be the duty of instructors to prepare schedules 
covering the courses prescribed for their arms and corps and to supervise the execution 
of the details of such courses. Special reports will be made to the department commanders 
for reference to the Chief, Militia Bureau, of ail neglects on the part of organizations to 
conform to the schedules. (Par. 438, N. G. R., '22.) 

Publication of Course. The program will be prepared by the Regular Arm}^ In- 
structor, detailed for duty with an organization of the National Guard, after consultation 
with the commanding officer of the organization. These schedules, after approval by the 
proper state official, should be published for the guidance of the officers who are responsible 
for the execution of the program. 

Organization commanders shall designate in advance the days and hours for the pre- 
scribed assemblies of their organizations and publish the schedules in appropriate orders, 
notation of which will be made in the pay rolls. (Par. 439, N. G. R., '22.) 

Responsibility of Captain. The commanding officer of a company is responsible for 
the instruction, tactical efficiency, and preparedness for field service of his company, for 
its appearance and discipline, for the care and preservation of its equipment, and for the 
proper performance of duties comnected with its pay, clothing, accounts, reports, and re- 
turns. (Par. 440, N. G. R., '22.) 

Command of Company. In the absence of its captain, the command of a company 
devolves upon the subaltern next in rank who is serving with it, unless otherwise especially 
directed by higher authority. (Par. 440, N. G. R., '22.) 

Lieutenants of Company. Captains v,dll require their lieutenants to assist in the 
performance of all company duties and to exercise command of the company in field and 

303 



armory instruction. They will ordinarily assign each of their subaltern officers to a specific 
position in the administration of the company and hold them responsible for results attained. 
One subaltern should be assigned to administrative duties, including the preparation of 
rosters, accounts, reports and returns, relieving the captain of the details of paper work re- 
quired by regulations. One subaltern should be assigned to and placed in charge of the 
arms, equipment, and other property issued to the company. The assignment of a subal- 
tern to positions as given above does not relieve the captain of responsibility for the com- 
plete efficiency of the company and proper care of propertj^, nor the subaltern for efficiency 
in his personal instruction and training. (Par. 441, N. G. R., '22.) 

General Policy in Armory Instruction. During the period of armory training in 
particular the policy will be to confine the scope of instruction to those elementary and 
essential subjects in which enlisted men and units can be well grounded rather than to 
extend the field unduly with the purpose of making the instruction comprehensive, — a 
method which may result in imparting a smattering of many things but a thorough knowl- 
edge of none. (Training Program M. B., Aug, 31, 1921.) 

Training of Units in Armory. With the exception of instruction for recruits and 
individuals and squads, the inherent difficulties of the situation will generally limit the 
armory training to drills of precision. It may not be possible to complete this class of 
instruction before the encampment but the aim should be to devote most of the outdoor 
period to those exercises which it is not practicable to conduct in the armory. The schedule 
for the training of units should be a progressive plan with a definite beginning and a definite 
ending. To this end the objectives m.ust be clearly prescribed so that the available time 
will be used to the best advantage and that there may be no unnecessary repetition. (Train- 
ing Program, M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Armory Training for Officers. In addition to the work which naturally falls to an 
officer as a part of his organization it is expected that all officers will spend the equivalent 
of at least one weekly drill period on individual study, where possible officers schools will 
be organized to work under the supervision of the Instructor, correspondence methods being 
resorted to where local conditions make it necessary. In this work, as well as in the in- 
struction of units, the fullest possible use will be made of those officers who have attended 
a special service school. It is considered that they are under a special obligation to give 
more than the usual amount of time to the instruction and development of the National 
Guard. (Training Prog. M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Instruction of Recruits. In the present system of enlisting the National Guard the 
training of recruits will be an ever present problem and it is therefore necessary that there 
be a clear understanding of the task and of the objectives to be attained. Instructors will 
strive for simplicity in this training and make the work as practical as possible, prescribing 
qualification tests which permit of advancement of the recruits from one step to another in 
accordance with their observed progress. So far as is possible the aim should be to furnish 
recruit instruction in the armory and take to the annual encampment organizations which 
are ready to work as units. (Training Program, M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Number of Assemblies. Each company, troop, battery, and detachment in the 
National Guard shall assemble for armory drill and instruction, including indoor target prac- 
tice, not less than 48 times each calendar year. Each and every assembly shall be of at 
least one and one-half hours' duration. (Sec. 92, N. D. A.) 

Officers May Earn Pay for not to exceed 5 drills per month or 60 in any one calendar 
year — and enlisted men may earn pay for not to exceed 8 drills per month or 60 in any 
one calendar year. Each drill must be a regular drill or other period of instruction author- 
ized by the Secretary of War, .and must be ordered or prescribed for each organization. 
(Sees. 109 and 110, N. d. A.) 

It Will Best Serve the interests of the organization and its individual members and 
allow of maximum pay if five drills are prescribed for each month, keeping the same day 

304 



each week and ordering an extra one when the month has only four regular drills or the 
regular drill day falls on a holiday. If this course is adopted attendance at any three drills 
during the month will qualify an enhsted man for minimum pay for that month, and will 
also allow carrying the maximum yearly pay by attending all drills during the year. No 
other arrangement of drills will make it possible for both the officers and the enlisted men to 
earn maximum pay. 

Two Assemblies May Count as One Drill. Two assemblies held within a week 
(commencing Sunday and ending Saturday, inclusive) may be counted as one drill: Pro- 
vided, That the attendance at each drill be at least one commissioned officer and 30 per cent 
of the actual total enlisted strength of the organization, that actual enlisted strength being 
not less than 30 per cent of minimum Federal recognition strength, but no captain, lieu- 
tenant, vv'arrant officer, or enlisted man belonging to the organization can secure credit for 
more than one drill of this character in any one week even though he may have attended 
both. (Par. 930 (a), N. G. E., '22.) 

The drills authorized in this paragraph will be recorded separately on proper forms, 
using a column for each drill to show the attendance thereat. (Par. 930(6), N. G. R., '22.) 

Drills in Excess of 48 a year. Assemblies in excess of 48 in a year or 24 in the 
semiannual period may be prescribed, but enlisted men receive no pay for more than 8 drills 
in any" one calendar month or 60 in any one year, and captains and lieutenants belonging 
to the organization receive no pay for more than 5 drills in any one calendar month, (Par. 
930 (c), N. G. R., '22.) 

Drill With Own Company. In order to receive credit for drill, a member of an or- 
ganization must drill or participate in exercises with his own organization. However, the 
personnel of headquarters and service companies or troops is such as to permit certain ex- 
ceptions to be made to this regulation without loss of efficiency in the training of these or- 
ganizations. The exceptions authorized are fully stated below: 

(a) The Regimental Headquarters Company (except Engineers) should be organized 
with the entire company at one station, preferably that of the regimental commander. 

(6) The Battalion Headquarters Company (except Engineers) should be located at the 
station of the battalion commander. For the Field Artillery, where the batteries of a 
battalion are located at more than one station, the first, second, and third sections of the 
Headquarters Detachment and Battalion Combat Train may be located at the stations of 
the corresponding batteries. In this case the commissioned and enlisted personnel should 
be attached for drill to the battery with v/hich stationed and a certificate as to attendance 
furnished the battalion commander. 

(c) Division and brigade headquarters companies, military police companies, and 
regimental service companies (except Engineers) should be organized either with the entire 
company at one station or with the commissioned and enlisted personnel of each subdivi- 
sion of the company all at one station. More than one subdivision may be located at the 
same station. 

Where a commissioned officer of the subdivided company is not provided for a sub- 
division by the Tables of Organization, credit will be allowed for drills supervised by any 
commissioned officer. 

Note. — It is not necessary that a commissioned officer attend or supervise the drill 
or exercises of the band section to entitle the members of such organization to drill pay. 
(Decision Compt. Treasury, Vol. 27, p. 954.) 

The subdivided company will be paid upon a single organization roll made up by the 
captain or senior officer in the subdivided company from data furnished to him by the 
officer in charge of each subdivision of the subdivided company in the form of a certificate. 
The drill night in each subdivision need not be identical throughout the subdivided com- 
pany. The requirements for an attendance not to exceed eight pay drills in any one month 
and the provisions governing the pay of officers will apply to the subdivided company as 
it does to other organizations. 

305 



(d) The Headquarters and Service Company of an Engineer regiment may be organ- 
ized at a single station or in two platoons at neighboring stations. In case one or both of 
the battalion headquarters are not located at the same station as the Headquarters and 
Service Company, the State authorities may, if desired, permit a battaUon sergeant major 
and one private, first class, to be stationed with each separately located battahon head- 
quarters. Where such an arrangement is made the strength of the Headquarters and 
Service Company is to be reduced by the number of men detached. 

Where an Engineer regiment is divided among several stations, the State authorities 
may, if desired, arrange for the enlistment at each of the separate company stations of one 
or more of the master sergeants and technical sergeants authorized for the Headquarters 
and Service Company. It is understood that this arrangement will be adopted onl}^ for 
the purpose of utihzing the services of these technical noncommissioned officers as instruc- 
tors. Such detached men should be carried on the pay roll of the Headquarters and Service 
Company. 

(e) The Medical Supply Section, Medical Regiment, should be located at a point where 
instruction in its duties and functions can be obtained and where the personnel of this unit 
may familiarize themselves with medical supplies, preferably in a tovm or city of consider- 
able size where the property and disbursing ofiicer and the State storehouses for medical 
suppHes are located. 

(/) The personnel of the Medical Laboratory Section, Medical Hegiment, may suitably 
be appointed from the personnel of large civil laboratories, and this unit should be located, 
if possible, in proximity to these laboratories. 

{g) The Veterinary Company, Medical Regiment, should be stationed at the same 
place with the mounted organizations which they are to serve in. order that they may secure 
training m. their duties and be able to accompany them to camps for periods of field training. 

Qi) For purposes of drill and instruction the oflQcers and enlisted men forming the 
headquarters detachment of a coast-defense command will be attached to fire commands 
or companies or assigned to other instruction work by the coast-defense commander. The 
officer under whom this personnel receives instruction will certify the drill attendance to 
the coast-defense commander, who will submit a consolidated pay roll for the entire de- 
tachment. 

(i) Colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors of a regiment are required to attend the 
number of assemblies for armory drill and instruction, and of the same duration as pre- 
scribed for oflScers of companies. Their duties will consist of participating in tactical 
evolutions with their commands when the latter are drilled as units, close supervision of the 
training, appropriate practical work in administration, and such administrative and tactical 
studies and exercises as may be prescribed by the instructor. They will visit the various 
units of their commands and exercise a constant and close supervision of the manner in 
which the prescribed drills and exercises are executed, and v/ill conduct a critique at the 
end of each drill witnessed. Their remarks will include an enumeration of the deficiencies 
observed and a statement of the means to be taken to correct them. 

(fc) Staff officers (except those commanding companies) of the Adjutant General's 
Department, Inspector General's Department, Judge Advocate General's Department 
Quartermaster Corps, and the Ordinance Department will be required to attend the number 
of assemblies for drills and of the same duration prescribed for officers of companies. Their 
duties in uniform in armories will consist of appropriate practical work in administration, 
supply, mobilization, equipment, and records, and in such administrative and tactical 
studies and exercises as may be prescribed by the instructor in carrying out the program 
prescribed by the War Department. 

Details of Men for Drill. The commanding officer of a company, troop, or battery 
may designate not to exceed one officer, one noncommissioned officer, and one private who 
may be authorized to spend the drill period in work on the company records, care of arms, 

306 



equipment, and property, preparation of work for noncommissioned officers' schools, and 
conduct of authorized examinations. (Par. 928 (h), N. G. R., '22.) 

Meaning of "DrilF* described. ''The word 'drill' will not necessarily be restricted 
to tactical evolutions, but it may be interpreted to include practical and theoretical in- 
struction in duties pertaining to the special arms or in such subjects as guard duty, care of 
the rifle, equipment, and special arms, instruction in tent pitching, combat, patrols, out- 
posts, minor tactics, problems on the sand table, field fortifications, talks on machines, 
camps, care of the feet, sanitation, first aid to the injured, making and breaking camp, 
packing wagons, railroad transportation, care of animals, making of pay rolls, military 
courtesy and customs of the service, the Articles of War, gallery practice, instruction and 
examination of gunners, rated men, and noncommissioned officers. (Par. 928 (j), N. G. R., 
'22.) 

A company may participate in an out-door exercise or maneuver and take credit for 
the same as an armory drill, provided that such exercise or maneuver shall be of not less 
than one and one-half hours' duration. (Par. 928 (j), N. G. R., '22.) 

Credit for not to exceed one assembly for armory drill in any one week and not to 
exceed eight such credits in any one calendar year may be given to a soldier for participation 
in target practice on a rifle range: Provided, That the target practice shall be supervised by 
a commissioned officer, and that not less than eight enhsted men of the same company shall 
be present and engage in target practice for a continuous period of not less than one and 
one-half hours, and : Provided further, That the above provisions shall not apply to camps 
of instruction for field training or for camps for rifle practice." (Par. 928 (k), N. G. R., '22.) 

Target Practice as Drill. 

1. Subparagraph e, paragraph 491, National Guard Regulations, is not changed or 
eliminated by Circular Letter No. 51. 

2. A Company Commander may take credit for drill attendance of an officer and 
eight or more enlisted men who attended target practice in place of a weekly drill provided 
that no soldier shall be given such credit more than once in any one week, nor for more 
than eight such participations in target practice in any one year, nor shall any soldier be 
counted more than once in reckoning the company attendance for any given drill. (M. 
B., Dec. 19, 1921.) 

Conduct of Outdoor Exercises. Whenever possible outdoor assembhes should be 
held, this being particularly important in the case of mounted and motorized organizations. 
By making extra effort a few week ends or hohdays can probably be devoted to such exer- 
cises and in such cases it is more than ever essential that the organization commander pre- 
pare a precise plan of instruction for the time at his disposal. Otherwise an outdoor exer- 
cise is apt to develop into little more than a march which though valuable as a means of 
teaching march discipline is nevertheless out of place as a test of endurance. (Train. Prog. 
M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Staff and Noncommissioned Staff. Staff officers and headquarters detachments 
will be required to attend the number of drills and of the same duration prescribed for 
officers of companies. Their duties will consist of participating in tactical evolutions 
with their commands when the latter are drilled as units, and of appropriate adminis- 
trative and tactical studies and exercises prescribed by the instructor when their com- 
mands are not so drilled. (Par. 445 (j), N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlisted Staff Corps Detachment. The enlisted personnel of staff corps and de- 
partments assigned to divisions and of State administrative staff and brigade headquarters 
detachments will be required to attend the number of assemblies for drill, such assemblies 
to be of the same duration prescribed for companies. Their duties in uniform in armories, 
arsenals, and storehouses will consist of appropriate practical work in administration, supply, 
mobilization, equipment, and records, and in such appropriate studies and exercises as may 
be prescribed by. the instructor. (Par. 446, N. G. R., '22.) 

307 



Location of Enlisted Staff. The location of the enlisted personnel of staff corps and 
departments assigned to divisions and of State administrative staff will be such that they 
may be instructed by the officers of their own corps or department, and no such enlisted 
man should be stationed at a town where there is no officer of his corps or detachment. 
(Par. 447, N. G. R., '22.) 

Dental and Veterinary officers Armory Drill. 

"Under the recently pubUshed Tables of Organization for the medical department, 
dental officers are given as a part of Regimental Sanitary Detachments for infantry divi- 
sions and dental and veterinary officers are included in Sanitary Detachments for Cavalry 
and Field Artillery." 

'The requirements that 50% of the commissioned strength be present at formations 
should include the dental and veterinary officers." 

"Credit should be given for correspondence courses when the time consumed on such 
courses equals the required drill periods, and same is certified to by the Instructor." 

"Dental officers and veterinary officers of the detachment should be required to attend 
all armory instruction with the detachment of which they are members or they should be 
assigned to some other detachment where they could attend drills, or Federal recognition 
be withdrawn from them, in other words, the officers belonging to a detachment or other 
organization should live at the point the detachment is located or so near that the distance 
would not interfere with their attending drills." (1st Ind. M. B., dated Feb. 26, 1921, 
File M. B., 240.91.) 

Examinations for first and second-class gunners and ratings will be held under 
the provisions of Drill Regulations for Coast Artillery and War Department circulars. 
Qualifications and ratings will be made as prescribed by War Department orders and by 
paragraph 1343, Army Regulations, 1913, as amended by Changes No. 43, War Depart- 
ment, 1916. (Par. 140, N. G. R., '22.) 

Mounted Instruction. At least 90 per cent of the mounted drills and exercises 
must be devoted to the following instruction: 

Cavalry. The school of the trooper, squad, platoon, troop, or higher units, equita- 
tion and field training mounted. 

Field Artillery. Harness and draft, driving, and th-^ evolutions and tactical use of 
field artillery with the carriages hitched. 

Engineers. Equitation and reconnaissance. 

Ambulance Companies. The technical employment of transportation and equip- 
ment. 

Signal Companies. The technical employment of transportation and materiel. 

All drills of machine-gun and homtzer companies will be devoted to packing and 
the technical and tactical use of materiel. (Par. 957, N. G. R., '22.) 

Pooling of Horses of Several Units. When two or more mounted organizations 
are stationed in the same place, animals of the several organizations may be pooled for the 
purpose of instruction and placed under the temporary control of the organization com- 
mander whose organization is to use them for drill. All animals pertaining to organiza- 
tions where two or more troops of cavalry or batteries of artillery are stationed will be under 
the control of the senior officer for instruction purposes who will prescribe the schedules 
for drill and allotment of animals. (Par. 958, N. G. R., '22.) 

Riding on the road by individuals for pleasure purposes not in connection with or 
as a part of an exercise ordered for training purposes will not be reported as instruction 
given and will not be credited as such. (Par. 959, N. G. R., '22.) 

Motion Pictures in Training. The value of motion-pictures as a means of training 
for officers and men has been thoroughly demonstrated. They permit of visualization by 

308 



the student of many subjects which, when studied from the text only, appear dense and are 
very difficult to fix in the mind. They have also proven particularly valuable as a means of 
teaching enlisted men drill, mechanical maneuvers as pertaining to the various classes of 
materiel, draft, harnessing, etc. (Cir. Let. No. 65, M. B., Dec. 13, 1919.) 

The Field Artillery Battalion Combat Train. May either be organized, together 
with the battalion headquarters, at a station separate from the stations of the batteries 
composing the battalion; or, if the batteries are in separate stations, one section of the 
Combat Train may be organized at the station of each one of the detached batteries. (Cir. 
Let. No. 9, M. B., Feb. 8, 1921.) 

Reservists at Armory Drill. Officers and enUsted men of the assigned and un- 
assigned National Guard Reserve, upon their own request, may be authorized to attend 
the armory instruction of active organizations, but they will not form any part of the 
minimum strength of attendance required by the War Department at such instruction nor 
be entitled to armory pay or allowances. (Par. 193, N. G. R., '22.) 

R. O. T. C. Drill Attendance. Members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps 
may attend Armory drills and receive Armory drill pay only for the drills so attended. 
(Par. 1005(f), N. G. R., '22.) 

R. O. T. C. Members Counted Present. For the purpose of complying with the 
conditions of paragraph 928(a), commanding officers of any company, troop, battery or 
detachment may count as present at all drills such numbers of the members of their re- 
spective organizations who are also members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, not 
to exceed ten per cent of the minimum authorized enlisted strength of the organization. 
(Par. 1005(6), N. G. R., '22.) 

R. O. T. C. Members Absent from Drill. Members of the Reserve Officers' Train- 
ing Corps will be required to furnish to their Commanding Officer a certificate from pro- 
fessors of military science and tactics to indicate their membership therein for the period 
they are excused from organization drills. (Par. lC05(c), N. G. R., '22.) 

Schools and Correspondence Courses. Armory drills will be supplemented by 
such armory schools, courses, and questions and answers, as may be prescribed by the War 
Department for officers and enlisted men. Instructors will conduct these courses and 
the examinations thereon in accordance with the directions in each case. It shall be 
the duty of officers and enlisted men of the National Guard to pursue the studies prescribed 
in such armory schools, correspondence courses, and questions, and to take the examinations 
thereon. All stationery, maps, and material required for such armory schools and corre- 
spondence courses will be procured by requisition upon the Chief, Militia Bureau, the cost 
thereof to be charged against the State's apportionments. (Par. 456, N. G. R., '22.) 

Army Correspondence Courses. In the conduct of Army Correspondence Courses 
ample provision is made for National Guard Officers to participate in these courses provided 
they volunteer. 

National Guard officers who volunteer to take the Army Correspondence Courses 
must understand that by so doing it in no manner relieves them from any duty in con- 
nection with the practical instruction and administration of their commands or the theo- 
retical instruction as prescribed in Par. 456, National Guard Regulations, '22. (Cir. Let. 
2, M. B., Jan. 6, 1922.) 

Correspondence Course for Medical Officers. In addition to participating in the 
instruction prescribed for sanity units and detachments and other duties prescribed for 
medical, dental, veterinary, and medical administrative corps officers of the National Guard, 
all officers of the Medical Department will pursue a course of instruction consisting of a 
series of questions and answers conducted by mail on the subjects pertaining to their duties 
as officers in the mihtary service. This course is required for all officers of the Medical 
Department. (Cir. No. 4, M. B., Sept. 8, 1921.) 

309

3. Regulations for conducting the correspondence course. 

(a) Under normal conditions the course for each class will begin November 1 of each 
year and continue for a period of six months. In exceptional cases this period may be 
extended by the War Department, but in no case will extension be granted beyond October 
15 of the year in which the course should have been completed. Officers who fail to com- 
plete the course on or before the above-mentioned date will be required to take the course 
over agam. 

(6) Questions for each course will be prepared in the Mihtia Bureau and sufficient 
copies furnished instructors designated by the War Department to conduct the course for 
the officers in their territory. 

(c) The scope of the work in any one course will consist of not more than six papers 
of not more than sixty questions each. One set of papers will be completed by student 
officers and forwarded to the instructor on the last day of the month indicated on the 
question sheet. 

(d) Instructors wiU request the adjutants general of the states in their respective 
territory to furnish them with the names, rank, and addresses of all medical department 
officers in the state concerned, including reserve officers. The instructors will ascertain 
by correspondence with the reserve officers if they desire to take the correspondence course. 
They will then send to each medical department officer (to the address furnished by the 
adjutant general), also to the reserve officers who have expressed a desire to take the course, 
all the papers pertaining to the course prescribed for the officer concerned, with a copy of 
this circular, a receipt for which will be required. Before sending out the question sheets, 
instructors will fill in the blank data thereon so that student officers will know when, where, 
and to whom the com^plete paper is to be sent. 

(e) Student officers upon receipt of the papers pertaining to the course prescribed 
for them will, after a careful reading and study of the page or paragraph indicated after 
each question, typewrite or write out the answers to each question in his own language 
without immediate reference to the text. The copying of the text in toto wiU not accomphsh 
the purpose of this course of instruction. 

(/) Answers should be confined to the questions and be as brief as the subject war- 
rants. Many of the questions can be answered by yes or no, others by a few words. The 
aim of the course is to familiarize officers with their mihtary duties, and enable them to find 
any information pertaining to their duties in the mihtary service. 

ig) Answers to questions will be made on legal cap paper, marginal ruled. The 
margin wiU not be written on. In this space the instructors will make such comments as 
may be deemed necessary. All stationery, including penalty envelopes, necessary to 
conduct the correspondence course will be furnished by the state concerned upon request of 
the instructor. 

(h) Upon receipt of completed papers submitted by student officers, instructors will 
carefully review them, making such comment and criticism as may be necessary to convey 
a clear understanding of the subject. Instructors will mark all papers upon their merit. 
The marks given on each paper will not be entered thereon but will be recorded and kept 
on file. All papers will be returned to student officers, who should file them for future 
reference. 

(i) Marks will be reported to the Militia Bureau on forms prescribed for that purpose 
not later than June 1 of each year. These reports will be made in triphcate for each state, 
one to be retained by the instructor, one to be sent to the Mihtia Bureau and one to the 
adjutant general of the state concerned. Similar additional reports will be made on Nov- 
ember 1 for those officers who have been granted an extension of time to complete the 
course. 

0) A rating of 60% in each individual paper and 75% as the average of all papers 
in a course is required for quahfication. Officers qualifying will be furnished a certificate 
by the Mihtia Bureau on the completion of each year's work. (Cir. No. 4, M. B., Sept. 
28, 1921.)

2. ARMORY DRILL PAY 

The Requirements and Regulations concerning armory instruction must be com- 
plied with as a condition before pay for armory drills is allowed. 

Pay for the National Guard Officers. Captains and lieutenants belonging to or- 
ganizations of the National Guard shall receive compensation at the rate of one-thirtieth 
of the monthly base pay of their grades as prescribed for the Regular Army for each regular 
drill or other period of instruction authorized by the Secretary of War, not exceeding five 
in any one calendar month, at which they shall have been officially present for the entire 
required period, and at which at least 50 per centum of the commissioned strength and 60 
per centum of the enlisted strength attend and participate for not less than one and one- 
half hours. Captains commanding organizations shall receive S240 a year in addition to 
the drill pay herein prescribed. Officers above the grade of captain shall receive not more 
than $500 a year, and officers belov/ the grade of major, not belonging to organizations, shall 
receive not more than four-thirtieths of the monthly base pay of their grades for satisfactory 
performance of their appropriate duties under such regulations as the Secretary of War may 
prescribe. Pay under the provisions of this section shall not accrue to any officer during 
a period when he shall be lawfully entitled to the same pay as an officer of corresponding 
grade in the Regular Army. (Sec. 109, N. D. A.) 

Record of Attendance at DrilL The commanding officer of each company, troop' 
battery, and detachment shall keep, on War Department Form 367 (b) a monthly record, 
in triplicate, of each officer and enlisted man of his organization at every drill or assembly for 
instruction, showing the number of the person, the date of the drill, the period during which 
he was actually present and under instruction in uniform, and the character of the drill 
and instruction for the entire period. This roster of attendance will form a part of the 
copy of the pay roll retained in the company. (Par. 454, N. G. R., '22.) 

Attendance. The record of attendance as to each drill should be completed on the 
drill report Form 3676 immediately after such drill so that at the termination of the three 
months' period, the drill attendance will be complete and the rolls may be completed and 
will be forwarded by the organization commander to the Instructor. (Par. 917, N. G. R., 
'22). 

Pay for Drill or Instruction. In order that officers and enlisted men may receive 
pay for armory drill assemblies or other commensurate service, the following provisions 
of law and regulations must be complied with : 

a. Captains and lieutenants belonging to organizations of the National Guard shall 
receive compensation at the rate of one-thirtieth of the monthly base pay of their grades 
as prescribed for the Regular Army for each regular drill or period of instruction, not 
exceeding five in any one calendar month, providing the following conditions are met for 
each drill. 

(1) At least fifty per centum of the actual commissioned strength of the organizations 
must attend and participate for not less than one and one-half hours, exclusive of rests and 
interruptions. 

(2) At least sixty per centum of the actual enlisted strength of the organization must 
attend and participate for not less than one and one-half hours, exclusive of rests and 
interruptions. 

(3) The character of the instruction shall be such as may be authorized by Secretary 
of War. 

b. Captains commanding organizations shall receive $240.00 a year in addition to the 
drill pay set forth above. 

c. Captains and lieutenants not belonging to an organization shall receive a compensa- 
tion per month at the rate of four-thirtieths of the monthly base pay of their grades as 
prescribed for the Regular Army, when they have satisfactorily performed the duties 
prescribed in these regulations. 

312 



Officers of this class are on a monthly pay basis and will be entitled to their maximum 
pay provided they have attended not less than four drills, assemblies, or have satisfactorily 
performed the duties prescribed in these regulations for any month. If the number attended 
during a calendar month is below four, they shall receive for each drill attended, or equiva- 
lent duty performed, one-fourth of their monthly rate. 

d. All officers above the grade of captain, whether belonging to organizations or not, 
when they have satisfactorily performed the duties prescribed in these regulations, shall 
receive compensation at the rate of §500. 00 per annum, except that such officers are not 
entitled to drill pay for the time they are on duty in encampments or camps of instruction 
and are receiving the same pay as officers of corresponding grades in the Regular Army. 

For field officers of the line to secure full pay of $500.00 per annum, they must attend 
not less than 48 assemblies for drill and instruction or perform duty which is certified to by 
the Regular Army Instructor as equivalent thereto while serving an entire calendar year. 
If the number attended during an entire calendar year is below 48, they shall receive 
S10.41 2/3 for each drill attended or equivalent duty performed. 

Officers above the grade of captain not residing at the stations of their commands, 
who follow courses of instruction prescribed by Instructors or perform other military 
duties which are considered equivalent in value to the 48 assemblies required for fine officers, 
will be treated in a similar manner as field officers of the line. Certificate of Regular 
Army Instructors will be required in all cases. (Par. 928, N. G. R., '22.) 

Actual Basis for Computation. 

"The term 'per centum of enlisted strength' as used in the statutes under considera- 
tion (Section 109, act of June 3, 1916, as amended by the act of June 4, 1920) means that 
per centum of the actual number of enlisted men belonging to the organizations and that 
no arbitrary or minimum number can be adopted as a basis for computation." 

For example, for an organization of 2 officers and 50 men, 1 officer and 36 men must 
attend, for an organization of 3 officers and 85 men, 2 officers and 51 men must attend 
(50% of the actual commissioned strength, and 60% of the actual enlisted strength.) 
(Circular Letter No. 53, M. B., Aug. 10, 1921.) 

Minimum Strength in Actual Basis of Computation. By a decision of the 
Comptroller General, dated Feb. 24, 1922, you are informed that in regard to officers 
quahfying for armory drill pay it is necessary that 60 per centum of the actual enlisted 
strength be present, SUCH ENLISTED STRENGTH being not LESS than the MINI- 
MUM required for FEDERAL RECOGNITION. (Cir. Let. No. 18, M.B., March 3, 
1922) and (Par. 928 (a), N. G. R., '22.) 

Captains Commanding Companies. 

1. The following decision as to officers of the National Guard who are entitled to 
§240. 00 additional pay per year as captains commanding organizations is published for 
the information and guidance of all concerned: 

"This pay shall accrue only to captains com.manding companies, troops, batteries, or 
units or detachments similar to a company in organization or administration which main- 
tains a strength of not less than fifty enlisted men." 

"The following commanders are not entitled to this additional pay: 

(a) Officers junior to grade of captain who perform the duties of captains comm.anding 
bodies of troops as enumerated above. 

(6) Officers senior to the grade of captain who command bodies of troops as enumer- 
ated above, or other units. 

(c) Commanding Officers of units other than those enumerated above whatever their 
grade." (Circular Letter No. 54, M. B., Aug. 16, 1921) and (Par. 928 (6), N. G. R., '22.) 

Organization Defined. 

In section 109, National Defense Act, difference in pay is established betvreen officers 
"belonging to an organization" and "not belonging to an organization." 

313 



The Militia Bureau defines the meaning of the word "organization" so used as "Com 
pany or its equivalent." (2nd Ind. M. B., Nov. 15, 1921.) 

Captain Comtnanding Staff Corps Detachment. 

A captain commanding the enlisted personnel of a State Staff Corps, or Department, 
is not entitled to receive the $240.00 additional pay, as a State Staff Corps or Department 
is not an organization. Organization means company or its equivalent. (3 Ind. M. B., 
Feb. 26, 1921.) 

Officers Absent from Drill while on Duty Status. 

Under date of November 29, 1920, the Judge Advocate General ruled: When an officer 
is absent from his organization on duty which entitles him to Regular Army pay of his 
grade, remark should be made on the pay rolls of his organization to the effect that he is 
not entitled to armory drill pay for the period. But may be considered as present at 
drills in so far as such attendance affects the rights of other members to pay. 

Note. — Such an officer is counted as present for purposes of determining the per- 
centage of officers present in the computation of armory drill pay of the officers of the 
organizations. (Circular Letter No. 78, M. B., Dec. 9, 1920.) 

Pay for National Guard Enlisted Men. Each enlisted man belonging to an or- 
ganization of the National Guard shall receive compensation at the rate of one-thirtieth of 
the initial monthly pay of his grade in the Regular Army for each drill ordered for his organ- 
ization where he is officially present and in which he participates for not less than one and 
one- half hours, not exceeding eight in any one calendar month, and not exceeding sixty 
drills in this one year: Provided, That no enHsted man shall receive any pay under the pro- 
visions of section for any month in which he shall have attended less than 60 per centum of 
the drills or other exercises prescribed for his organization: Provided further, That the pro- 
viso contained in section 92 of this Act shall not operate to prevent the payment of enlisted 
men actually present at any duly ordered drill or other exercise: And -provided further , That 
periods of any actual military duty equivalent to the drills herein prescribed (except those 
periods of service for which members of the National Guard may become lawfully entitled 
to the same pay as officers and enlisted men of the corresponding grades in the Regular 
Arm.y) may be accepted as service in lieu of such drills when so provided by the Secretary 
of War. (Sec. 110, N. D. A.) 

GENERAL PRINCIPLES GOVERNING ARMORY DRILL PAY 

Captain Commanding Organization — Additional Pay. A captain command- 
ing a company or equal organization draws the additional allowance of $240.00 per annum, 
only for the number of days he actually was present with and commanded the organi- 
zation and exclusive of any days in field exercise under Federal pay. (Sec. 109, N. D. A. ) 

Organization Must be Federally Recognized. Pay for drills can only accrue for 
any member of a company, troop, battery, or detachment from the date of recognition by 
the War Department as National Guard of the organization of which he is a member. 
(Par. 924(a), N.G.R., '22.) 

Note. — ^After July 15, 1922, no National Guard officer is entitled to Federal pay 
unless he has qualified before a duly constituted board. (Circular Letter No. 43, M. B., 
May 16, 1922.) 

Individual Must be Federally Recognized. Pay for drills can only accrue for any 
member of the National Guard from the date he has individually quahfied as a member of 
the National Guard by taking the oath prescribed and the date when he quahfied must be 
entered on the pay rolls. (Par. 924 (6), N. G. R., '22.) 

Not to Draw Double Pay. Pay for drills can only accrue for any member of the 
National Guard for periods exclusive of the time while in the service of the United States 
or at a camp of instruction or of any other time for which service he may become lawfully 

314 



entitled to the same pay of corresponding grade in the Regular Army. (Par. 928 (/), 
N. G.R., '22.) 

Fractions less than unit not counted. 

In computing number of drills necessary to entitle an enlisted man to pay for a month , 
fractions less than a unit are disregarded. Thus when seven drills are prescribed it takes 
an attendance at five of them to qualify for pay although sixty percent of seven is only 
four and two tenths. (Decision of the Comptroller, March 3, 1921.) 

Pay for fractional part of Month. 

Under date of Nov. 29, 1921, the Comptroller has decided that an enlisted man en- 
Ksted or discharged during the month cannot qualify for pay for that month unless he 
attends sixty per cent of all the drills prescribed for the organization during the month. 
Thus a man who enlists on Dec. 15 in a company that has drills prescribed every Wednesday 
cannot qualify even if he attends both the drills held after his enhstment. (Letter, Chief 
of Finance, Dec. 17, 1921.) 

Drill attendance of Enlisted during Month. 

In order to be entitled to pay for any month, an enlisted man must have attended at 
least 60 percent of all the drills prescribed for the organization during that month, even if 
he was enlisted or discharged during the month and had no chance to attend the drills 
held prior to his enhstment or after his discharge. (Decision of Comptroller, Dec. 13, 
1921.) 

Band Leaders Paid as Master Sergeants. 

Until Congress shall have provided funds for payment of warrant officers, National 
Guard, and fixed the rate of pay for armory drill. Band Leaders National Guard, will be 
appointed as Master Sergeants (Class 1, enhsted men) and will be paid accordingly for 
both encampment ser-\dce and armory drills. (Circular Letter No. 4, M. B., Jan. 20, 1921.) 

The band section and mounted section of a headquarters company of the Na- 
tional Guard are each an organization within the meaning of section 48 of the Act of June 
4, 1920, 41 Stat. 784, prescribing the rate of pay of enhsted men of the National Guard 
according to the percentages of drills attended, and the number of drills ordered for each 
section should be treated separately as the basis for computing the pay of enhsted men 
attending such drills. 

"It is not necessary that a commissioned officer attend or supervise the drills or exer- 
cises of the band section of a headquarters company of the National Guard to entitle mem- 
bers of such organization to drill pay." (Finance Circular No. 60, dated June 28, 1921.) 

Helpers, Caretakers, etc., at Armory Drill. 

"Helpers," caretakers, mechanics etc. detailed to care for equipment are entitled to 
Armory Drill pay in addition to other pay as "helpers" provided they comply with the 
requirement of attendance at armory drills. (2d Ind. M.B., Nov. 15, 1921.) 

Armory drill pay, during encampment. 

No officer or enlisted man can receive credit toward armory drill pay and camp pay on 
the same day. If payment is made for one kind of duty the other is excluded. (3 Ind. 
M. B., Nov. 18, 1921.) 

Longevity Pay increase. Prior service in the National Guard cannot be considered 
for the purpose of qualifying National Guard officers for longevity pay. (Cir. Let. M. B., 
No. 61, Oct. 15, 1920.) 

Specialists Armory Drill Pay. Additional compensation for the specialist rating 
cannot lawfully be 'included. The statute provides "compensation at the rate of one- 
thirtieth of the initial monthly pay of his grade in the Regular Army". This signifies the 
monthly base pay of his grade as prescribed by Congress in Section 4-b, which in case of 
privates 1st class is S35.00 and in case of privates is S30.00. (Cir. Let. No. 69, M. B., Nov. 
12, 1920.) 

315 



Non compliance with Section 92 National Defense Act. May an organization 
of the National Guard be considered as having quahfied during a calendar year to receive 
any part of the compensation provided by the act of June 3, 1916, if that organization shall 
have failed to participate in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, including out- 
door target practice, at least fifteen days in training for that calendar year, the Secre- 
tary of War not having excused the organization from such participation? 

I am of the opinion, therefore, that questions (a) and (6) should be answered in the 
affirmative. Such is the view also of the Judge Advocate General of the Army and with 
it I agree. (Decision of the Comptroller July 26, 1917.) 

Drill record statement in case of Transfer. The statement should be made in 
triplicate, one copy to be attached to the pay-roll which is kept on file in the office of the 
Commanding Officer of the organization from which the man is transferred, but it is directed 
that the original and dupHcate copies be forwarded to the Commanding Officer of the 
organization to which the man is transferred, the same to be attached to the original and 
duplicate copies of the Day roll and made a part thereof. (Cir. Letter M. B., No. 3, Jan. 
9, 1922.) 

Reservists at Armory Drills. Members. of the National Guard Reserve assigned to 
organizations under provisions of paragraph 190 will not be placed on active duty nor be 
entitled to Federal pay and allowances except under a call or draft by the Federal Govern- 
ment or when engaged in field or coast defense training. (Par. 184, N. G. R., '22.) 

Enlisted Men of the National Guard in Civilian Military Training Camps. 

Enlisted men of the National Guard may enroU for attendance at any of the Civilain 
Mihtary Training Camps; Provided, that not exceeding ten per centum of the enlisted 
strength of any National Guard organization may be, at the same time, so enrolled. 

For the purpose of complying with the conditions of paragraph (qualification of officers 
for pay), commanding officers of any company may count as present, at all drills, such 
enhsted men of their respective organizations as are in attendance at Civilian Military 
Training Camps. (Par. 1006, N. G. R., '22.) 

Members of the National Guard in Reserve Officers' Training Corps. 

(6) For the purpose of complying with the conditions of paragraph 928a, Commanding 
Officers of any company, troop, battery or detachment may count as present at all drills 
such number of the members of their respective organizations who are also members of the 
Reserve Officers' Training Corps, not to exceed ten per cent of the enlisted strength of 
the organization. 

(c) Members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps may attend Armory drills and 
receive Armory drill pay only for the drills so attended. 

(d) Members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps will be required to furnish to 
their Commanding Officer a certificate from professors of mihtary science and tactics to 
indicate their membership therein for the period they are excused from organization drills. 

(e) Each pay roll mil be accompanied by a certificate by the Commanding Officer 
containing the names of all those excused from organization drills and stating the period 
during which -they were excused, on account of being enrolled in the Reserve Officers' 
Training Corps. (Par. 1005, N. G. R., '22.) 

Date of Enlistment and Discharge Included. Pay for drills attended may accrue 
on the day of enlistment and on the day of discharge or other separation from the National 
Guard, or on the date of Federal recognition of the organization. 

Maximum Credit in One Month. Pay for not to exceed eight drills per month or 
sixty in any calendar year may accrue to an enlisted man and for not to exceed five drills 
per month or sixty in any calendar year to an officer of an organization. (Sees. 109 and 
110, N. D. A.) 

316 



Conditions as to Attendance. Pay for drills can only accrue for any one month 
for any enlisted man if he attends sixty per cent of the drills prescribed during that month. 
(Sec. 110, N. D. i^.) 

Pay for a drill can only accrue for an officer of an organization when fifty per cent of the 
officers and sixty per cent of the enlisted strength of the organization are present at the 
drill. (Sees. 109 and 110, N. D. A.) 

Officers not Belonging to Organization. Pay for drills can only accrue for an 
officer forming part of an organization. Other officers (including a captain Medical Corps 
attached to a headquarters unit) are paid according to period of service for satisfactory per- 
formance of their respective duties. (Sec. 109, N. D. A.). 

Armory Drill Pay Tables.* One day's base pay of officer is: 

Captain, S6.66 6-9; 1st Lt., S5.55 5-9; 2nd Lt., S4.72 2-9.

Additional compensation of a captain commanding an organization for day $0,666. 

D — 3. ARMORY DRILL PAY ROLLS 

Preparation of Pay Rolls. Pay Rolls on War Department forms 367 and 367a will 
be prepared in triplicate in accordance with the "Instructions" contained on the front cover 
page. The original and duplicate copies will be submitted to the Regular Army instructor 
on duty with the National Guard of the State the 31st of March, 30th of June, 30th of 
September and the 31st of December of each year. The triplicate copy will be retained in 
the organization records. (Par. 917, N. G. R., '22.) 

Importance. These pay rolls are not only the guide for the prompt payment of the 
men interested but when filed in the Treasury Department they become the record to which 
reference will thereafter be had in the investigation and settlement of questions affecting the 
pay of the men whose names are borne thereon for the period involved. All officers are 
therefore enjoined to exercise every care to make the pay rolls w^th which they are con- 
cerned complete. (Par. 918a, N. G. R., '22.) ^_-^ 

Composition. Each copy of the pay roll will be made up of one Form 367 and as 
many Forms 367a as may be necessary, fastened together along the edge indicated by 
sewing or by means of a stapling machine or other permanent fastening, but not by use of 
adhe.sive liquids. Only the copy retained by the organization will have Form 3676 at- 
tached. (Par. 9186, N. G. R., '22.) 

Attendance. The record of attendance as to each drill should be completed on the 
drill report Form 3676 immediately after such drill so that at the termination of the three 
months' period, the drill attendance will be complete and the rolls will be forwarded by 
the organization commander to the Instructor. (Par. 917, N. G. R., '22.) 

Typewritten and Carbon Copies. The preparation of pay rolls on a typewriting 
machine is authorized, provided a record ribbon is used. The making of carbon copies is 
also authorized, but they must be clear and legible throughout, and the original copy and the 
first carbon will be furnished the Instructor. Carbon copies that are not clear and legible 
throughout should not be accepted, and should be returned. (Far. 918^^, N. G. R., '22.) 

Names to be Entered on RoH. The names of all officers warrant officers and enlisted 
men belonging to the organization v%-ill be entered on the roll, both present and absent, and 
will be entered in the column "Names, present and absent, and rani:," in the following 
order: Commissioned officers by grade, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, in order 
of their grades as given in A.rmy Regulations, the names under each grade heading appear- 

*There is apt to be a change in present rates of pay (May 18, 1922). 

317 



ing in the order of seniority, privates, first class, and privates, in alphabetical order of 
grade, without regard to rating as specialist, which will be indicated after their names. 
(Lance corporals will be caried under the heading "Privates first class.") 

The names and the headings will follow one another without interval except when made 
necessary by the use of two or more lines in the column of remarks after a name. Men on 
detached service will be carried on the roll in their proper place, with remarks showing them 
on detached service and the place (example, with machine-gun company, etc.). In the 
case of privates, the last name will be written first — e. g.. Smith, John A., and not John A. 
Smith. The first name will be written in full. Care will be taken to have the names cor- 
rectly spelled, and the dates of rank of officers and the dates of enhstment of enlisted men 
must be correct. (Par. 91Sd, N. G. R., '19.) 

Abbreviations. The following authorized abbreviations will be used in the prepara- 
tion of pay rolls and under no circumstances will any others be used. (Par. 922, 
N. G. R., '22.)

Filling in Columns on Form 367a. The first eight columns will be filled in by the 
officer making out the pay rolls. The remaining columns on this sheet (Form 367a) will not 
be filled in, except by the disbursing officer making the payment. However, on receipt of 
the checks for dehvery to the members of the organization, the commanding officer thereof 
will enter the amount of the check for each member opposite his name in the column "Bal- 
ance paid" on his triphcate pay roll, which is retained in the organization's records. 

Signatures on the Pay Rolls (Form 367a). Signatures are required for cash pay- 
ments only. On the triphcate the heading "Signature for cash, etc.," will be changed with 
pen and ink or rubber stamp to read " No. of check and date of payment," and the com- 
manding officer of the organization upon delivering the checks to the respective members 
thereof will have them sign opposite their names for the checks dehvered to them. Where 
the signature of a member cannot be secured, a memorandum on a separate piece of paper 
will be secured acknowledging receipt of check. (Par. 921, N. G. R., '22.) 

Delivery of Checks. All payments for driUs will be made by check by the designated 
disbursing officer in the department in which the State is geographically located. The 
checks will be sent to the adjutant general of the State concerned, who will forward them to 
the respective organization commanders for delivery bj'- them to the members of their 
organizations. Checks which cannot be delivered to a member of the National Guard 
within 30 days from the date of receipt by an organization commander will be returned by 
him to the adjutant general of the State, with a letter of transmittal stating the reasons 
for nondelivery. (Par. 923, N. G. R., '22.) 

Ruling Extra Columns. The use of dots and the word "ditto" is prohibited, but 
when items such as authorized charges due the U. S., are to be made against a sufficiently 
large number of names, columns may be ruled therefor in the space under "remarks." 
(Par. 8, Spec. Reg. No. 58, W. D., 1916.) 

Explanatory Notes to the Columns of Armory Drill Rolls.

and show for each month the number of drills prescribed for the organization.

Pay Rolls for Armory Drill in case of Conversion of Units. 

In preparing armory drill paj^ rolls for units affected by this letter the following pro- 
cedure should be adopted. 

(a) Units that simply had their letter designation changed to another letter of the 
same regiment will continue their original pay-roll, making notation of the date and author- 
ity for the change in letter designation. 

(6) For units which change from one branch to another or which are given a radically 
different designation within the regiment (such as the conversion of a lettered Infantry 
Company or a Machine Gun Company into an Infantry Howitzer Company), a pay roll 
should be prepared for the old unit covering that portion of the six-months period preceding 
the issuance of the State order. This pay roll should be indorsed to show that the unit 
was, by cited authority, converted into another unit. A separate pay roll should be pre- 
pared covering the drills of the new unit for the period following the issuance of the State 
order, and this roll should also be indorsed to show the authority for the change in the 
unit's designation. The two pay rolls should be forwarded together at the close of the 
six-months period. (Circular Letter No. 5, M. B. Jan. 26, 1921.) 

Transfer from one Organization to Another. 

In cases where men are transferred from one organization to another during a semi- 
annual period, the following information should be furnished by the Commanding Officer 
of the organization from which the man was transferred to the Commanding Officer of the 
organization to which the man v/as transferred: 

(a) Statement in duphcate, giving name of soldier, grade (if promoted or demoted* 
date of effectiveness and authority for same), number of drills attended per month or 
fraction thereof (if promoted or demoted, date and number of drills attended each grade), 
certificate as to number of drills prescribed each month and fraction thereof from date of 
last payment to date of transfer. 

(b) Date organization was Federally recognized. 

(c) Number of drills for which soldier was paid for the period ending June 30th. 
Note. — On all certificates covering transfers during period July 1 to December 31 

of any calendar year, it will be necessary to include this information in order that the 
General Accounting Office may readily determine whether the soldier was paid for a greater 
number of drills than is provided for in Section 110, National Defense Act as amended, 
namely, a maximum of 60 drills in one year. (Par. 920, N. G. R., '22.) This certifi- 
cate must accompany pay roll. 

Disposition of Drill Record on Transfer. The statement should be made in 
triplicate, one copy to be attached to the pay-roll which is kept on file in the office of the 
Commanding Officer of the organization from which the man is transferred, but it is di- 
rected that the original and duphcate copies be forwarded to the Commanding Officer of the 
organization to which the man is transferred, the same to be attached to the original and 
duphcate copies of the pay roll and made a part thereof. (Par. 920, N. G. R., '22.) 

Notation as to R. O. T. C. Members. Each pay roll will be accompanied by a cer- 
tificate by the Commanding Officer containing the names of all those excused from organ- 
ization drills and stating the period during which they were excused on account of being 
enrolled in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. 

Members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps will be required to furnish to their 
Commanding Officer a certificate from professors of mihtary science and tactics to indicate 
their membership therein for the period they are excused from organization drills. (Par. 
1C0.5, N. G. R., '22.) 

Certificate as to Civilian Military Training Camp. Enlisted men of the Na- 
tional Guard, who are in attendance at a Civihan Mihtary Training Camp, will be re- 
quired to send their National Guard comm.anding Officer a certificate, from the Command- 

329 



ant of the Camp, to the effect that they were in attendance at the camp during the period 
they are counted as present at drill. 

Each pay roll will be accompanied by a certificate, of the commanding offi cer of the 
organization, containing the names of all those enlisted men who were counted as present, 
but who did not attend organization drills, and the dates for which they were counted on 
account of their being in attendance at a Civilian MiUtary Training Camp. (Par 1006, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Specialists on rolls. Specialists should be carried on the pay rolls under their proper 
heading of Privates, 1st class, or Privates. For camp rolls the specialist rating must be also 
shown. 

Numbers and grades on rolls. Only the numbers of the various grades as author- 
ized by the Militia Bureau Tables of organization, should be carried on the rolls. For 
example only one first sergeant can be paid on a company roll for any stated period. 

Check list for Pay Rolls. Check the following items with the pay roll before sub- 
mitting: — 

(a) Has name of organization been inserted at top of pay roll (Paragraph 919, N. G. 
R.)?

D — 4. PREPARATION OF AN ORGANIZATION FOR THE ANNUAL ARMORY 

INSPECTION 
Inspection Required by Law. 

The Secretary of War shall cause an inspection to be made at least once each year by 
inspectors general, and if necessary by other officers of the Regular Army, detailed by him 
for that purpose, to determine whether the amount and condition of the property in the 
hands of the National Guard is satisfactory; whether the National Guard is organized as 
hereinbefore prescribed; whether the officers and enlisted men possess the physical and 
other quahfications prescribed; whether the organization and the officers and enlisted men 
thereof are sufficiently armed, equipped, and being trained and instructed for active duty 
in the field or coast defense, and whether the records are being kept in accordance with the 
requirements of this Act. The reports of such inspections shall serve as the basis for 
deciding as to the issue to and retention by the National Guard of the military property 
provided for by this Act, and for determining what organizations and individuals shall be 
considered as constituting parts of the National Guard within the meaning of this Act. 
(Sec. 93, National Defense Act.) 

Date of Inspection. 

Armory inspections wiU be made annually by officers of the Regular Army, under the 
direction of the Inspector General of the Army, and will be completed during the period 
from January 1 to March 31, inclusive. (Par. 522, N. G. R., '22.) 

Date Determined. 

Inspections of the National Guard will be made by inspectors general, or by other 
officers of the Regular Army, detailed by the Secretary of War for that pmrpose. As soon 
as an officer receives notice of his designation for duty as inspector of the National Guard 
he will enter into correspondence with the State military authorities with a view to making 
the necessary arrangements. Care should be taken to consult the convenience of the units 
that are to be inspected, and in the case of regiments composed of scattered companies, or 
of companies composed of scattered platoons, it is not necessarj?- that the units shall be 
brought together for the purpose of inspection, but the separate parts can be inspected at 
their home armories. (Par. 525, N. G. R., '22.) 

Character and scope of Inspection. 

The inspector will inspect the equipment, property, records, armory, stables, garage, 
and personnel of the organization, making the inspection as thorough and complete as 
time permits. Wherever a formal inspection or drill can not be held, this information will 
be ascertained by personal observation as far as practicable. It is the desire of the War 
Department that the Federal inspection be made a formal occasion and be an annual test 
of the armory instruction of National Guard organizations. (Par. 4, Inst, for Inspector). 

Number of Inspections and Reports. 

A separate report will be made for each organization and each unit thereof, such as 
Headquarters, Headquarters company, sanitary detachment, and of each compan y, troop, 
or battery. (Par. 8, Inst, for Inspector.) 

State Staff. 

A separate report will be made on the State administrative staff. This will include all 
authorized officers of the adjutant general's department, the inspector general's depart- 
ment, the judge advocate general's department, chaplains, the property and disbursing 
officer for the United States, officers and enlisted men of the quartermaster corps, ordnance 
department, and medical department (not on duty with ambulance companies, field hos- 
pitals, or other organizations), which includes the medical corps, the dental corps, and the 
veterinary corps. (Par. 12, Inst, for Inspector.) 



331 



Arsenals and Storehouses. 

A separate report will be made on each State arsenal, storehouse, and depot. All 
members of the National Guard detailed in connection therewith will be entered on the 
report as attached. (Par. 13, Inst, for Inspector.) 

Brigade and Division Headquarters. 

Separate reports, as indicated in Par. 21, will be made on division and brigade head- 
quarters, on which report the general officers and officers of the staff corps and departments 
will be entered as present or absent. (Par. 14, Inst, for Inspector.) 

Ratings in Degree of Efficiency. 

In order to obtain some degree of uniformity, all raings where the degree of effi- 
ciency is to be shown wiU be expressed as "Excellent," "Very Good," "Good," Fair," 
"Poor," or "Bad." The standard will be the same as that of the Regular Army, not that 
which all Regular organizations attain or which any organization attains in all respects, 
but the degree of excellence to be expected of a Regular organization. This paragraph 
wiU be shown and explained to the organization commanders. (Par. 16, Inst, for Inspector. ) 

Report of Deficiencies. 

The inspector wiU verbally inform the organization commander of all irregularities 
and deficiencies noted in connection with the subjects of organization, armament, and 
equipment, and will at the same time offer such assistance, advice, or suggestions as may be 
practicable looking to their correction. He will not, however, make a written report to 
any officer of the National Guard giving information contained in the report. 

Correction of Deficiencies Previously Reported. 

The Chief of the MiHtia Bureau will furnish copies of extracts of the annual inspection 
reports to the States for transmittal to the organizations concerned, and the organization 
commander wiU report through military channels the steps that are being taken to correct 
the defects noted. Federal inspections will include an examination of the records of the 
organization with a view to determining whether deficiencies existing at the last inspection 
have been corrected, and it will be incumbent upon the commanding officer thereof to 
present to the inspecting officer the reports of the last annual armory and field inspections. 
(Par. 529, N. G. R., '22.) 

Annual Armory Inspection — Strength and Personnel. 

The organization commander will be supplied with Form 50-1-I.G.D., which he 
should fill out and sign, to be verified by the inspector. (Par. 3, Inst, for Inspector.)

Importance of Attendance — Annual Armory Inspection. 

The appropriation made available under the provisions of section 83, of the National 
Defense Act will be apportioned to each State, Territory, and the District of Columbia on 
July 1 of each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, and will be based on the enlisted 
strength present at the annual inspection, upon factors as follows: (a) For Infantry, Coast 
Artillery, Hospital Corps detachments (attached to organizations). Quartermaster Corps, 
Ordnance Department, and all others not hereinafter enumerated, the number of enlisted 
men will be multiplied by one; (6) for field hospitals and ambulance companies the number 
of enlisted men will be multiplied by two; (c) for Field or Heavy Artillery, Cavalry, 
Signal Corps, Engineer Corps, Air Service, Tank, Howitzer and Machine-gun organiza- 
tions the number of enHsted men will be multiplied by three. (Par. 613, N. G. R.,'22.) 

Credit for Attendance. 

In computing the numerical strength of organizations credit will be allowed only for 
men who are uniformed, armed, and equipped so far as equipment has been furnished. 
Officers and enlisted men who are necessarily absent from their commands at the time of 
the armory inspection may be inspected with another organization of the same State, pro- 
viding they present the written authority of the adjutant general of the State or Territory 
or the District of Columbia as the case may requiTe. A member of the National Guard 
can not be attached to an organization of another State for the purpose of inspection. 
Members of organizations temporarily absent from their commands for the purpose of 
attending any service school will be counted in the aggregate strength of the organization 
being inspected, the circumstances being noted in the inspection report. (Par. 527, N. G. 
R., '22.)

E. ENCAMPMENTS AND FIELD TRAINING 

Law Requiring Encampments. Each company, troop, battery, and detachment 
in the National Guard shaU participate in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, 
including outdoor target practice, at least 15 days each year, unless excused from parti- 
cipation in any part thereof by the Secretary of War. (Sec. 92, N. D. A.) 

Note. — In case of failure, of any reason, for any organization to participate, it is 
best to obtain the excuse in writing from the MiHtia Bureau. 

15-Day Encampments Authorized. Under such regulations as the President may 
prescribe the Secretary of War is authorized to provide for the participation of the whole 
or any part of the National Guard in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, includ- 
ing outdoor target practice, for field or coast-defense instruction, either independently or 
in conjunction with any part of the Regular Army, and there may be set aside from the 
funds appropriated for that purpose and allotted to any State, Territory, or the District 
of Columbia, such portion of said funds as may be necessary for the payment, subsistence, 
transportation, and other proper expenses of such portion of the National Guard of such 
State, Territory, or the District of Columbia as shall participate in such encampments, 
maneuvers or other exercises, including outdoor target practice, for field and coast-defense 
instruction; and the officers and enHsted men of such National Guard while so engaged 
shall be entitled to the same pay, subsistence, and transportation as officers and enHsted 
men of corresponding grades of the Regular Army are or hereafter may be entitled by law. 
(Sec. 94, Nat. Def. Act.) 

4 Day Instruction Camps Authorized. Under such regulations as the President 
may prescribe the Secretary of War may provide camps for the instruction of officers and 
enlisted men of the National Guard. Such camps shall be conducted by officers of the 
Regular Army detailed by the Secretary of War for that purpose, and may be located 
either within or without the State, Territory, or District of Columbia to which the members 
of the National Guard designated to attend said camps shall belong. Officers and enlisted 
men attending such camps shall be entitled to pay and transportation, and enlisted men to 
subsistence in addition, at the same rates as for encampments or maneuvers for field or 
coast-defense instruction. (Sec. 97, Nat. Def. Act.) 

Status of National Guard in Camp. As the National Guard v/hile participating 
iui joint maneuvers or encampments is not * 'called forth" in the manner or for any of the 
purposes prescribed in the Constitution, they continue to be State forces and do not at 
any time pass into the service of the United States. (Par. 471, N. G. R., '22.) 

Command of Posts and Cantonments. When any part of the National Guard 
participates in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, including outdoor target 
practice, for field or coast-defense instruction at a United States military post, or reserva- 
tion, or elsewhere, if in conjunction with troops of the United States, the command of such 
military post or reservation and of the officers and troops of the United States on duty 
there or elsewhere shall remain with the commander of the United States troops without 
regard to the rank of the commanding or other officer of the National Guard temporarily 
engaged in the encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises. (Sec. 95, Nat. Def. Act.) 

Operation of Post Exchanges. 

National Guard Troops, not in Federal service, in camp on a government reservation 
will be permitted to operate their own Post exchange, provided the transactions are limited 
to the members of their commands, and are in conformity with police and sanitary regula- 
tions of the reservation. 

Camps and Schools for National Guard. Contingent upon the necessary funds 
being available, the National Guard will attend a field training period of fifteen days and, 
in addition, schools of instruction for officers and specially selected men may be held for a 
period not to exceed four days' actual attendance in camp. It is believed that it would be 

344 



most beneficial if arrangements can be made to have the four-day period immediately 
precede the main encampment. (Letter M. B., 354.1, Dec. 6, 1920.) 

Who Initiates Plans for Encampments. Subject to the requirements of the 
general scheme and to the limitations imposed by available funds, department commanders 
will, after direct correspondence with the adjutants general of the States, initiate plans for 
summer camps for the National Guard within their respective departments. (Par. 458, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Corps Area Commanders in Charge of Camps. Subject to such general direc- 
tions as the Secretary of War may issue to insure uniformity in the instruction of the 
National Guard, department commanders will have charge of all encampments, maneuvers, 
and other exercises of the National Guard held in their respective departments. (Par. 
460, N. G. R., '22.) 

Supervision of Camps. Encampments of the National Guard for field training 
will be under the general supervision of the Corps Area Commanders, who will, after direct 
correspondence with the Adjutants General of the several States within their areas, prepare 
all plans, fix the dates and places of encampment, designate the units to attend, and approve 
the programs of instruction in accordance with the general scheme outlined herein and in 
the "Suggestions for Training the National Guard, 1919." (Letter M. B., 324.1, Dec. 
6, 1920.) 

Supervision of Schools. The preliminary schools of instruction will also be under 
the supervision of Corps Area Commanders who will approve programs of instruction and 
detail the necessary officers from the troops under their commands to carry out the approved 
programs. Arrangements should be made at these schools for the instruction of Staff 
Officers, Medical Officers and non-commissioned officers and selected privates, first class. 
Sanitary Troops. (Letter M. B., 354.1, Dec. 6, 1920.) 

Location of Camps. The location and suitability of the camp sites and ranges for 
encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, for field or coast-defense instruction and out- 
door target practice shall be determined or approved by the Secretary of War, or by de- 
partment commanders under instructions from the Secretary of War. (Par. 465, N. G. R. 
'22.) 

Whenever possible camp sites should be selected so that instruction in target practice 
and field firing may be included in program of instruction. (Letter M. B., 354.1, Dec. 6, 
1920.) 

Location of Coast Artillery Camps. Coast defense commanders will select the 
camp grounds and supervise all preparations for the accommodation of the National Guard 
assigned to their commands. They will inspect the camps and drills of the National 
Guard from time to time for the purpose of reporting on the efficiency both of the troops 
and of the instructors. When considered necessary in the interest of discipline, orders 
will be issued to the commanding officers of the National Guard through the senior in- 
structor. (Par. 2, G. O., No. 6, W. D., 1921.) 

Use of Cantonments for Camps. "WTiere any State has not provided a suitable 
camp for the mobilization and training of its National Guard, as provided in Special Regu- 
lations No. 55, War Department, 1917, the Department Commander is authorized, when 
he deems it advisable, to use the nearest United States camp or cantonment for these 
purposes, provided the necessary space and facihties are available, without detriment to 
the training and accommodation of the United States troops and provided the United 
States is not required to furnish any additional personnel for the supply and administra- 
tion of the State Troops. 

When this privilege is granted any State it will be with the distinct understanding that 
this is an emergency action and in no way will it be regarded as a precedent for fixing 

345 



future policy. This action amends Special Regulations No. 55, W. D., 1917, in no way. 
(Cir. Let. No. 14, M. B., 1920.) 

Setting Dates for Camps. The attention of all concerned is called to the fact that 
all members of the National Guard must have early notice of the dates set for encampments 
in order that suitable arrangements may be made for the necessary absence from their 
business affairs. (Letter M. B., 354.1, Dec. 6, 1920.) 

After the dates for an encampment have been determined upon and announced, no 
change therein should be made, for such change affects not only the members of the Na- 
tional Guard but seriously disrupts the industries from which the National Guard personnel 
is drawn. (Letter M. B., 354.1, Dec. 1920.) 

Uniformity in Plans and Instruction. To insure progress and uniformity in 
instruction, the MiHtia Bureau will formulate on or before March 1 of each year a general 
scheme of instruction for the ensuing summer period for the information of department 
commanders and Coast Artillery district commanders. Subject to the requirements of the 
general scheme and to the limitations imposed by available funds, department commanders 
will, after direct correspondence with the adjutants general of the States, initiate plans for 
summer camps for the National Guard within their respective departments. (Par. 458, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Programs of Instruction. Based upon the general scheme of instruction referred to 
in the preceding paragraph, programs of instruction for the National Guard at encampment 
or field exercises will be prepared under the direction of the department commander well in 
advance of the date set for the encampment or exercise. (Par. 459, N. G. R., '22.) 

General Scope of Field Training. It will be assumed that the completion of their 
instruction will normally come in a period of intensive training upon their draft into federal 
service, in time of war, and to such extent as is logical each summer camp will be regarded 
as a miniature period of such intensive training. (Training Policy, M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Training of Commanding and Staff Officers. The administration and instruc- 
tion of the encampment or march should be such that all officers shall perform, as far as 
practicable, all the functions, appropriate to their grade and office, that would devolve 
upon them if in actual campaign. 

Report will be made of the degree and manner in which th-? commanding and respective 
staff officers performed the duties of their office. 

Any officer displaying marked ability, or inefficiency, will be noted by name in the 
report. (Page 2, Field Inspection Report.) 

Recruit Instruction. So far as is possible the aim should be to finish recruit in- 
struction in the armory and take to the annual encampment organizations which are ready 
to work as units. (Training Policy, M. B., Aug. 31, 1921.) 

Coast Artillery Instruction. Regulations for coast defense or field exercise of 
National Guard Coast Artillery are published in General Order of the War Department. 
(C. A., Memo. No. 1, March 26, 1921.) 

Lectures, Conferences, and Schools may be held in the evening but it is more 
expedient to hold them during the day. They should be held preferably in the morning 
and never immediately after a meal. (Cir. Let. M. B., No. 11, Feb. 26, 1920.) 

Practice Marches During Camp. Such marches as may be prescribed should be 
for the purpose of instruction in march discipline, conduct of marches, etc., and not as 
tests of endurance or as a hardening process. (Cir. Let. M. B., No. 11, Feb. 26, 1920.) 

Simple Night Maneuvers During Camp. For troops sufficiently advanced in 
fundamental training one or more simple night maneuvers or exercises such as occupying 
by night a position selected during daylight should be prescribed embodying the following 
features and as many more as may be deemed expedient, viz.: — 

346 



(a) Necessity for clear and concise orders and definite objective. 
(6) Necessity for silence and absence of lights during operation, 
(c) Means and methods of maintaining direction, contact and communication 
throughout command. (Cir. Let. M. B., No. 11, Feb. 26, 1920.) 

Use of Regular Army Personnel. The Secretary of War may detail one or more 
officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army to attend any encampment, maneuver, or 
other exercise for field or coast-defense instruction of the National Guard, who shall give 
such instruction and information to the officers and men assembled for such encampment, 
maneuver, or other exercise as may be directed by the Secretary of War or requested by 
the governor or by the commanding officer of the National Guard there on duty. (Sec. 
96, Nat. Def. Act.) 

Detail of Instructors. The Regular Army personnel necessary for instruction at 
authorized encampments and maneuvers and for field or coast-defense exercise of the 
National Guard will be provided through direct correspondence between the adjutants 
general and commanders of departments in which the State is located. (Par. 461, N. G. 
R., '22.) 

All Available. Instructors and sergeant-instructors will be at the disposition of 
department commanders during the summer encampment period, and will be available as 
instructors at any authorized National Guard camp, maneuver, field, or coast-defense 
exercise within the hmits of the department. (Par. 463, N. G. R., '22.) 

Duties of Instructors at Coast Artillery Camps. The senior instructor will have 
entire charge of the execution of the program of instruction and exercises, including sub- 
caliber and service target practice. The method of conducting target practice will conform 
as nearly as practicable to that prescribed for Regular troops, but the senior instructor 
is authorized to make such changes as he may deem necessary on account of local con- 
ditions. The safety precautions prescribed for Regular troops will be observed by the 
National Guard. The senior instructor will be responsible for the safety of the field of 
fire. (Par. 3, G. O., No. 62, W. D., 1921.) 

Duties of Instructors. Ordinarily the senior instructor on duty with a unit will have 
general charge of instruction within that unit. When practicable, the senior instructor on 
duty with the State should, when he is not the senior present at the encampment, be detailed 
in addition to other duties as adjutant of the instructional corps and assist the senior 
instructor in the execution of the program of instruction. (Par. 2, Field Inspection Re- 
port.) 

Must have Allotment of Funds. No bills should be contracted or obligations in- 
curred by any officer of the National Guard in connection with the participation of the 
National Guard in joint camps of instruction or maneuvers, providing for payment to be 
made by the United States, except in accordance with the provisions of the National Guard 
Regulations and the acts of Congress appropriating funds for the support of the National 
Guard. (Par. 469, N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — Plans however, will have to be made in advance always contingent upon 
appropriations. 

Estimate of Funds for Camps. Complete and detailed estimates of funds required 
for the above purposes should be submitted to the Chief of the Militia Bureau as early as 
practicable. These estimates should include expenses for the necessary detail of officers 
and enlisted men for the purpose of preparing camps and for their proper demobihzation, 
and in this connection, it is believed that an estimate covering four days' pay should be 
ample for the purpose. (Cir. Letter, M. B., No. 11, Feb. 26, 1920.) 

Form for Estimates. The estimates should be in letter form and give dates and 
location desired. Number of officials, enhsted men and organizations expected to attend. 
Number of animals, wagons, motor and other equipment to be moved, accommodation 

347 



desired, and should contain as complete an estimate for each item of anticipated expenditure 
as previous experience and foresight dictates. 

It is well to check up on the following items: 

Railway or boat transportation. 

Transportation from Armory to railway station and return. 

Transportation from railway station to camp and return. 

Pay of officers and enlisted men. Same for advance party and party remaining after 
camp. 

Subsistence — Water — Sewage disposal — Material for mess tables, benches and 
shelters, building and equipping shower baths and kitchens. Electric Ughts in tents, mess 
shelters, kitchens, latrines and exterior camp Hghts — lavatories including facilities for 
washing clothing — fuel for kitchen and barrack heaters — lime — incinerators — screening 
for kitchens, mess shelters and latrines — hire of scavengers — extra transportation — 
hire of boats — telephone service — hire of riding and draft animals and forage and supplies 
for same. 

Disbursing Officers for Encampments. The U. S. Property and Disbursing 
Officer for the State concerned will disburse the following funds allotted to him for the 
purpose by the Militia Bureau. 

For the hire of horses and draft animals for the use of mounted troops, batteries, 
wagons, and for forage for the same. Prior authority of the Secretary of War for payments 
of this character is not necessary. 

For such other incidental expenses in connection with lawfully authorized encamp- 
ments, maneuvers, and field instruction as the Secretary of War may deem necessary. 
Prior authority of the Secretary of War for payments of this character is necessary. 

For the pay of officers and the pay and subsistence of enlisted men participating in 
encampments, maneuvers and other exercises, including outdoor target practice for field or 
coast-defense instruction. Prior approval of the Secretary of War for payments of this 
character is not necessary. (Par. 631, N. G. R., '22.) 

Division of Camp Expenditures. If it is agreed that the State shall bear a portion 
of the expenses of the pay of officers and enlisted men, the pay rolls will clearly indicate the 
obligations which rest against Federal funds and those which rest against State funds. 
(Par. 682, N. G. R., '22.) 

Requisitions for Funds made by Governor. The requisition for these funds can 
not be made by any official of the State or Territory other than the governor, or in the 
District of Columbia, the commanding general of the District of Columbia Militia. Under 
the regulations of the War Department but one requisition a month can be submitted, 
except in urgent cases, in which cases full explanation as to the urgency must accompany 
the request. (Par. 628, N. G. R., '22.) 

Form of Requisition for Funds. The requisition of the governor or the commanding 
general of the District of Columbia Militia will be in letter form and must be accompanied 
by a detailed estimate showing the purpose or purposes for which the funds are required, 
reference to be made thereon to the authority granted to incur the expense. When re- 
quisitioning for funds for purposes of pay for officers and enlisted men and subsistence of 
enlisted men for field or camp service for instruction, the estimate will show the number of 
officers and enlisted men of all grades taking part, with the number of days of their service; 
the approximate amount necessary to pay the officers and enhsted men of the command 
on the basis of the pay of the Regular Army, without increase for length of service; the 
approximate cost of the subsistence of enlisted men of the command for the specified num- 
ber of days, on the basis of 50 cents a day for each enlisted man when rations in kind can be 
issued, 70 cents a day when traveUng and when travel rations can be suppHed, and not to 
exceed three times the vaiue of the ration per diem when traveling and it is necessary to 
supply cooked meals; also the estimated amount of incidental expenses, such as hiring of 
horses and draft animals for the use of mounted troops, batteries, and wagons in connection 

348 



with the encampments, maneuvers, and field instruction, and the estimated cost of mis- 
cellaneous suppHes that are necessary for camps, such as wood for cooking and heating 
purposes, straw for bedding, forage for animals, and other similar supphes. (Par. 629, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Requisition for Supplies for Camps. Requisitions for supplies for joint encamp- 
ments of instruction must be made to the proper supply officers of the Regular Army in 
charge of issuing supplies thereat, and should specify, as near as possible, the exact quantities 
of supplies that will be required. The mihtary authorities of the States, Territories, and 
the District of Columbia should inform the supply officer of the camp as far as possible in 
advance of the date of the joint exercises or encampments in anticipation of the requisi- 
tions that will be submitted to the supply officers later at the encampments. (Par. 470, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — If the arrangements and notification cannot be made directly with the 
Federal supply officer, the information should be furnished to Corps Area Headquarters 
in sufficient time to be transmitted and supplies provided for. 

Care should be exercised that no supplies in excess of absolute necessity are requisi- 
tioned for. The cost of any supplies ordered, if met from Federal funds, must be charged 
against funds under the subappropriation "General expenses, equipment and instruction, 
National Guard," apportionment for "Expenses, Camps of Instruction," provided suffi- 
cient funds remain to the credit of the State, otherwise from funds other than Federal. 
(Par. 466, N. G. R., '22.) 

Requisition in Coast Artillery Camps. The preparations of the Coast Defense 
Commander should include estimates and requisitions for all the items as may be necessary. 
(Par. 4, G. O., No. 62, W. D., 1921.) 

Note. — The National Guard supply officer and the Coast Defense commander must 
cooperate. 

Transportation Requests. Each United States property and disbursing officer is 
designated as the transportation officer for the State in which he is acting as such property 
and disbursing officer, and such requests will be issued only by him so far as the National 
Guard of his State is concerned. All requests for transportation for camps should be made 
to him. (Par. 632, N. G. R., '22.) 

Notations on Transportation Requests. All transportation requests must show 
the proper official designation of the appropriation from which payable, and, when practi- 
cable, the subappropriation; the authority for the travel (when authorized by the Militia 
Bureau, the procurement symbol and number, the date and file number of such authoriza- 
tion to be stated); and the nature of the travel such as "camps of instruction." (Cir. Let- 
ter M. B., No. 21, April 21, 1920.) 

No Mileage for Travel. The law makes no provision for payment of mileage to 
officers and enhsted men of the Regular Army and the National Guard while travehng in 
connection with armory or field instruction, inspection, or changing stations. The trans- 
portation for which provision is made by law is the actual cost thereof, reimbursement 
therefor to be made in accordance with paragraph 696. (Par. 636, N. G. R., '22.) 

Transportation of Baggage and Supplies. Bills of lading involving the shipment 
of Government (United States) property, which shipments are properly payable from 
appropriations made by Congress for the benefit of the National Guard will be issued only 
by the property and disbursing officer for the United States in the State, and apphcation 
for shipment of property to camp and return to home should be made to him. (Par. 
638, N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — The use of Federal motor transportation issued to the State is encouraged. 

Transportation of Coast Artillery Commands. The coast defense quartermaster 
will have charge of moving the organizations and their impedimenta between the railroad 

349 



or wharf and the camp grounds, and wherever possible post transportation, either boat or 
wagon, will be used for this purpose, but if necessary the coast defense quartermaster will 
supplement the post transportation by hiring extra transportation. (Par. 8, G. O., No. 62, 
W. D., 1921.) 

Note. — The National Guard and Regular Army officers must cooperate in submitting 
estimates for any expenditures necessary for such transportations. 

Transportation for Practice Marches. Where troops engage in a practice march 
for instruction, the cost of wagon transportation sufficient to carry the rations, tentage, 
and bedding is a proper charge against the State's allotment of funds. Therefore, where 
the expenditure is reasonable and necessary to the movements of the troops that are en- 
gaged in a practice march the same will be allowed. (Par. 683, N. G. R., '22.) 

Animals to be Taken to Camp. All animals for which supplies or helpers are 
furnished from Federal funds shall be sent, upon the order of the Secretary of War, at such 
times and for such periods as he may designate, to camps of instruction or to joint camps 
for the use of the National Guard units for which they were issued, assembled thereat, 
without further compensation to the owners than the supplies and helpers furnished for 
them. (Par. 954, N. G. R., '22.) 

Public Animals to Another State. PubHc animals will not be sent outside of the 
State, Territory, or the District of Columbia for which they were furnished without the 
authority of the Secretary of War. (Par. 956, N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — That a camp in another State is approved by the Militia Bureau is sufficient 
evidence that the Secretary of War's authority has been obtained. 

Payments of transportation of mounted officers who take part on the actual field or 
camp service for instruction, pursuant to the provisions of section 94 of the act of June 3, 
1916, and for the horses of these officers, may be made from funds allotted to the State or 
Territory or the District of Columbia, under section 67 National Defense act, from the 
home station of the officers to the place of encampment and, returning, from the place of 
encampment to the home stations of the officers, provided such horses have been inspected 
by an inspector-instructor or other officer of the Regular Army and certified to as suitable 
first mounts, as required for officers of the Regular Army. (Par. 686, N. G. R., '22.) 

Field Inspection of Animals.

(Page 4, Field Inspection Report.) 

Allowance for Subsistence. And the enUsted men of such National Guard while 
so engaged shall be entitled to the same * * * * subsistence ***** as enUsted men 
of corresponding grade of the Regular Army are or hereafter may be entitled by law (Sec. 
94, Nat. Def. Act.) 

Determination of Money Value of Ration. Paragraph 1205 Army Regulations 
gives the component parts of the Regular Army garrison ration. 

Paragraph 1220 Army Regulations modified by Changes No. 95, October 9, 1919, gives 
the various allowances of rations. 

Paragraph 1221 Army Regulations shows the method of computing cost of ration at 
any locality. 

350

Field Inspection at Camp. Field inspections will be made annually by officers of 
the Regular Army under the direction of department commanders in the course of such 
encampments, maneuvers, or field or coast defense exercises as may be authorized by the 
Secretary of War. 

No formal field inspection is required. The reports will be prepared on prescribed 
forms from notes made during the field service. 

The necessary investigation, which will include the fitness and sufficiency of uniform 
and equipment of organizations and the degree of care bestowed upon Federal property, 
vrill be made in a manner that will cause a minimum of interference v/ith the regular schedule 
of instruction. The reports will be prepared on prescribed forms from notes made during 
the field service. (Par. 531, N. G. R., '22.) 

Tactical inspection is a function of command. Under this heading are included all 
inspections of a military command for the purpose of ascertaining and furthering : 

(a) The efficiency of military instruction. 

(6) The military efficiency of units. 

(c) The military efficiency of officers.

the files of the Corps Area and the other forwarded to the Chief of the Militia Bureau with 
the Corps Area Commander's indorsement indicating the steps which he contemplates 
taking to remedy the defects noted in the report and making recommendation for measures 
which require the action of higher authority. (Par. 5, Field Inspection Report.) 

Number of Reports. One report in duphcate will be rendered for each unit to which 
an inspector is especially assigned. The senior inspector on duty with a regiment will 
report on all units of the regiment to which an inspector has not been especially assigned. 
All organizations of a regiment will be carried on the "Summary of Attendance" of the 
report of the senior inspector. (Par. 6, Field Inspection Report.) 

Report on Coast Artillery Camps. Each coast defense commander will submit 
a report of the National Guard coast defense exercises to The Adjutant General of the 
Arm}^, setting forth his personal observations and recommendations looking to the im- 
provement of future exercises. (Par, 12, G. O., No. 62, W. D., 1921.) 

Report on Drill and Instruction. The inspector will indicate the state of the 

organization in respect to the subjects listed which are ordinarily covered during the 
armory drill season. The desired information should be obtained through general obser- 
vation of the organization during its first days in camp. 

The different headings will be used for the various branches of the service, so far as 
they apply. (The word "company" will apply to troop and battery; "battalion" will 
9-Pply to squadron.) 

351

Inspectors for Camp Inspection. Of the officers sent to attend encampments, 
maneuvers, or field or coast-defense exercises, including instructors regularly detailed 
with the National Guard, as many will be assigned by Corps Area commanders to make 
the field inspections as may be necessary, the number usually not to exceed one for each 
battalion. When practicable, officers will be assigned to their own arms of the service 
for inspection duty. Reports of field inspections will be made on the prescribed forms and 
forwarded to the Chief of the Militia Bureau through department commanders. (Par. 
462, N. G. R., '22.) 

Duties of Inspectors. The inspector will also be an instructor. All errors, defects, 
or irregularities noted will be promptly reported to the commanding officer of the organiza- 
tion, with recommendations as to methods of correction. 

The attitude of the inspector should be that of an enthusiastic, willing, and encourag- 
ing helper, with the added duty of a friendly critic. (Par, 3, Field Inspection Report.) 

Muster a Prerequisite of Camp Pay. Each command must be mustered for pay 
as provided in paragraph 689, National Guard Regulations. (Par. 468, N. G. R., '22.) 

Time of Muster. The muster and inspection prescribed herein will be made as near 
as practicable at the close of the joint encampment, maneuvers, or exercises, and at a time 
that will interfere as little as possible with execution of the program of instruction. (Par. 
690, N. G. R., '22.) 

Report of Absentees from Camp. The Commanding Officer of each company, 
troop, battery, or detachment will determine prior to leaving his home station for camp the 
cause of absence of any member of his command, and after arrival in camp will submit to 
the Instructor assigned to duty with his unit for inclusion in the latter's report a detailed 
list of absentees, showing the cause of absence of each member of the organization carried 
thereon. (Cir. Letter M. B., No. 11, 1920.) 

Attendance of State Staff Officers. Officers of the National Guard not belonging 
to organizations attending maneuvers may be assigned to duties of grades corresponding 
to those held by them, respectively, to fill vacancies which may exist temporarily in such 
organizations, and may be paid the pay due their grade from Federal funds for the perform- 
ance of such duties. They shall be entered on pay rolls, in red ink, after the roll proper, 
and reported as "attached " (Par. 467, N. G. R., '22.) 

Helpers and Caretakers to Camp. Helpers paid from Federal funds to care for 
animals or material, will be sent to camps with the animals or material of their organiza- 
tions. While attending such camps helpers will be entitled only to their camp pay. (See 
Cir. Let. No. 42, M. B., May 15, 1922.) (Par. 955, N. G. R.,' '22.) 

Leaves of Absence for Certain Government Employees. All officers and em- 
ployees of the United States and of the District of Columbia who shall be members of the 
National Guard shall be entitled to leave of absence from their respective duties, without 
loss of pay, time, or efficiency rating, on all days during which they shall be engaged in 
field or coast-defense training ordeced or authorized under the provision of this Act. (Sec. 
80, National Defense Act.) 

353 



Reservists may be Enlisted for Cainp. Assigned reservists may be enlisted in 
organizations of the National Guard which attain an active maintenance strength of sixty- 
five. The maximum number of such enlisted assigned reservists must not exceed the 
number of active members of each organization. (Par. 2, Cir. Letter M. B., No, 31, 1921.) 

Assigned Reservists Brought to Camp. In cases where assigned reservists are 
brought to camp with the organization, the maximum number of such assigned reservists 
in each organization is limited to the corresponding number of active members in that 
organization. (Par. 4, Letter, M. B., No. 31, 1921.) 

Report of Attendance at Camp. For each organization and subdivision thereof, 
the report of attendance will show the following items. (Page 3, Field Inspection Report.)

Yihsit degree due to other causes . 



Previous Experience and Service. 

The Inspector wiU report on : 

Number present who have had service in the United States Army since April 6, 1917: 

Officers; Enlisted men. 
Number present who were transferred from other organizations within six months 

preceding encampment: Officers; Enlisted men. 
Number present who have attended camp with other organizations during current 

calendar year: Officers; Enlisted men. (Page 4, Field Inspection Report.) 

Character of enlisted personnel. Give general description of marked physical, 
mental, or moral quahties; nature of occupation; or other items enUghtening as to the 
human make-up of the organization. (Page 10, Field Inspection Report.) 



Prescribed Strength of Organizations. Those organizations of the National 
Guard (similar to the organizations in the Regular Army) which have a prescribed enlisted 
strength greater than sixty-five must secure by July 1 at least sixty-five active enlisted men. 
Other organizations of the National Guard must be maintained at the strength prescribed 
for similar units in the Regular Army. (Cir. Letter No. 31, M. B., 1921.) 

While the above poUcy establishes a minimum peace active strength of 65 for com- 
panies and corresponding units of the National Guard, every effort should be made to 
encourage the maintenance of such units at the peace strength prescribed for the Regular 
Army in Tables of Organization. (Cir. Letter No. 48, M. B., 1921.) 

Strength of Organizations. Efforts should be made to increase the enhsted strength 
of all new organizations from the authorized recognition strength of 50 to 65, within six 
months of the date of Federal recognition. (Letter, C. M. B., Jan. 13, 1922.) 

354 



Organization of Units. The inspector will inquire and report whether the organ- 
ization conforms to the published tables of organization and state items of nonconformity 
(Page 4, Field Inspection Report.) 

Assigned Reservists. It is especially desired that all National Guard organizations 
may participate in the annual period of field instruction with the maximum strength of 
assigned enlisted reservists. (Par. 2, Cir. Let. 76, M. B., 1920.) 



355 



E — 2. ENCAMPMENT PAY 

Dates for which Pay is Due. V/hen any portion of the National Guard shall parti- 
cipate in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, including outdoor target practice, 
for field or coast-defense instruction, under the provisions of this Act, it may, after being 
duly mustered, be paid at any time after such muster for the period from the date of leaving 
the home rendezvous to date of return thereto as determined in advance, both dates in- 
clusive; and such payment, if otherwise correct, shall pass to the credit of the disbursing 
officer making the same. (Sec. 98, Nat. Def. Act.) 

Muster for Camp Pay Mandatory. Before pay is allowed, the men must be duly 
mustered. (Par. 689, N. G. R., '22.) 

Credit for Attendance at Camp. 

(d) Officers, warrant officers, and enhsted men shall not receive pay unless the period 
of actual mihtar^^ duty, travel, and training participated in by each officer, warrant officer, 
and enhsted man on each day on v/hicli he shall be credited as having been present, and the 
character of the training engaged in, shall be such as may be prescribed by the Secretary of 
War for field training. In order to receive credit for attendance, all enlisted men present, 
except cooks, kitchen police, company clerks, noncommissioned officers in charge of quarters 
or camp, those on sick report, and in arrest, must actually participate in the maneuvers, 
target practice, or other exercises. (Par. 932 N. G. B,., '22.) 

Changes in Regulations. Attention is invited to the fact that the provision re- 
quiring sixty days' previous service and fourteen drill periods of one and one-haK hours 
each before a National Guardsman is entitled to pay for attending field training, has been 
removed. (Cir. Letter No. 64, M. B., 1920.) 

Verification of Attendance at Drills. Unless otherwise directed by department 
commanders, it shall be the duty of the instructor or other regular officer detailed as in- 
structor at such camps to verify the attendance in his organization at each day's duties 
and to report to the senior instructor the attendance of officers and enlisted men with the 
character of instruction pursued and the time devoted to the exercises prescribed in the 
approved program of instruction. (Par. 464, N. G. R., '22.) 

Qualifications for Pay. The pay rolls will have entered opposite the name of each 
enlisted man the date of his enlistment, and no enhsted mau will be mustered for pay who 
is not a bona fide member of the company, troop, battery of detachment, in which paid. 

In order to entitle any member of the organization to pay, the requirements as to 
average attendance, laid down in paragraph 932,(6) must be fulfilled. (Par. 689, N G. R., 
'22.) 

(The pay rolls should shov/ date of Federal recognition of each officer.) 

Field Training a Requisite for Pay. May an organization of the National Guard 
be considered as having qualified during a calendar year to receive any part of the com- 
pensation provided by the act of June 3, 1916, if that organization shall have failed to 
participate in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, including outdoor target 
practice, at least fifteen days in training for that calendar year, the Secretary of War not 
having excused the organization from such participation? 

I am of the opinion, therefore, that questions (a) and (6) should be answered in the 
affirmative. Such is the view also of the Judge Advocate General of the Army and with 
it I agree. (Decision of the Comptroller July 26, 1917.) 

Qualification of Enlisted Men for Camp Pay. All enhsted men attending field 
training for not less than one half of the full training period will receive pay and subsistence 
for each day of attendance, and transportation. (Par. 3, Cir. Letter, M. B., No. 31, 1921.) 

Qualification of Officers for Camp Pay. The pay of officers will depend upon the 
numerical strength of the enhsted men in their respective organizations who attend field 
training as follows: 

356 



(a) In those organizations of the National Guard which are not required to maintain 
a strength of at least sixty-five active members, sixty per cent of the actual required 
enlisted strength must attend field training for the oiificers to receive pay. 

(6) For those organizations of the National Guard which must maintain a strength of 
at least sixty-five active members, the officers will receive pay if sixty per cent of sixty- 
five active members attend field training, i.e., thirty-nine active enlisted members. 
3. At least 50 per cent of the actual commissioned strength must attend. (Par. 932, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Regular Army Rates of Pay. The National Guard of a State engaging in actual 
field or camp service for instruction is entitled to receive the same pay to which officers and 
enlisted men of the Regular Army are entitled by law, and it is therefore beyond the power 
of the War Department to authorize payments of any other rates from appropriations pro- 
vided by Congress for the National Guard. (Par. 684, N. G. R., '22.) 

Same as Regular Army Allowances. The officers and enlisted men of the National 
Guard while engaged in encampments, maneuvers, or other exercises, including outdoor 
target practice, for field or coast defense instruction shall be entitled to the same pay, 
subsistence and transportation as officers and enlisted men of corresponding grades 
of the Regular Army are or hereafter may be entitled by law. (Sec. 94, N. D. A.) 

Officers and enhsted men of the Natinal Guard attending camps for the instruction of 
officers and enlisted men prescribed by the Secretary of War shall be entitled to pay and 
transportation and enlisted men to subsistence in addition, at the same rates as for en- 
campment for field exercises or coast defense instruction. (Sec. 97, N. D. A.) 

No Pay During Leave from Camp. An officer or enlisted man of the National 
Guard is entitled to pay only when on duty, and not while on leave, during the period of 
encampment of the National Guard of which he is a member. (Par. 685, N. G. R., '22.) 

Pay for 31st of a Month. Officers and enlisted men serving as provided in sections 
94 and 97 of The National Defense Act, are entitled to be paid for the actual number of days 
they are engaged in service at the same rates of pay as officers and enlisted men of the 
corresponding grades of the Regular Army. The act of March 2, 1903, defining division of 
yearly time and computation for fractional parts of months is limited in its application to 
payments made to the Regular Army. (See Decision of Comptroller, Oct. 30, 1903.) 
(Par. 689, N. G. R., '22.) 

No Increase in Pay for Previous Service. In computing pay previous service m 
the regular or volunteer forces of the United States is not to be considered. (Decision of 
Comptroller August 20, 1903). Previous service in the Organized Militia or National Guard 
shall not be counted. (Par. 689, N. G. R., '22.) 

Must Attend one-half Number of Days. No officer or enhsted man shall receive 
pay for attendance at such encampment, maneuver, or exercise unless he shall have been 
present and participated during at least one-half of the number of days authorized for 
attendance of the organization to which such officer or enlisted man belongs. (Par. 932, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Entry of Names on Payroll. No man's name should be entered on a pay roll cover- 
ing encampments or maneuvers, etc., unless he shall have previously subscribed to the oath 
required by sections 70 and 73 of the National Defense Act. (Par. 688, N. G. R., '22.) 

Note. — This is covered by the certificate on first page of the roll. 

Collection of Fines During Camp. If a National Guard force is encamped under 
the provisions of sections 94 and 97 of the National Defense Act, and fines are imposed by 
a court-martial for derehctions of duty, the amounts of such fines should be entered on the 
pay rolls; the officer paying the troops should deduct the amounts of the fines from the pay 
of the men. (Par. 687, N. G. R., '22.) 

357 



Inoculation and Vaccination. The Inspector will inquire as to following: — 
Was each officer and enhsted man of the unit examined by a medical officer of the 

Regular Army or National Guard, or a civilian doctor, in accordance with the standards 

prescribed for the Regular Army- 
How many members of the organization present in camp have received the complete 

antityphoid inoculation. (Page 4, Field Inspection Report.) 

Care of Sick. National Guard organizations will make their own provision for the 
treatment of their sick, except that men sufficiently ill to require treatment in bed may be 
sent home or be cared for in the post hospital, as may be deemed best by the senior medical 
officer of the organization to which the patient belongs. (Par. 13, G. O., No. 59, W. D., 
1917.) 

Admission to Hospitals. Officers and enlisted men of the National Guard w^hile 
attending national rifle matches of joint camps of instruction may be admitted to hospitals 
of the Army on the approval, respectively, of the executive officer of the national matches 
or the commanding officer of the joint camp of instruction. For subsistence medical charges 
in above case, see paragraphs 693 and 694. (Par. 472, N. G. R., '22.) 

Hospital Charges during Sickness or Injury. Officers and enlisted men of the 
Federally recognized National Guard who, while participating in authorized encampments, 
become ill or injured from cause not due to their misconduct, may be sent, upon recom- 
mendation of medical officers, approved by competent administrative authorities of the 
organization, to civilian or private hospitals for care and treatment, and the resulting 
charges paid from Federal funds appropriated for the National Guard (provided sufficient 
funds are available): Provided, hov/ever, that it be impracticable to send such cases to a 
government hospital for treatment and that the nature of the illness or injury is such that, 
with the means and equipment prescribed for the orgnaization attending the encampment 
the officers and men referred to cannot be given proper care and treatment by the encamp- 
ment; Provided further, that expenses of the nature referred to, so far as Federal funds are 
concerned, are Hmited to the period of the encampment, the law not authorizing medical 
care and treatment at public expense in a civiHan or private hospital after the date that 
the encampment officially ends (see Dec. Compt. Treasury, Jan. 19, 1921.) Charges of 
civilian or private hospitals under the provisions of this paragraph may, if such services 
are rendered necessary by the circumstances, include room fees, subsistence charges (for 
enlisted men only), medicines, special nurses, operating room fees, anesthetics, surgical fees, 
and professional service fees, but all vouchers in payment of such charges must be sub- 
mitted to and approved by the Militia Bureau before payment is made. Such vouchers 
will not be approved by the Militia Bureau unless it appears that the charges were actually 
necessary and reasonable, and that precaution was taken by those responsible to see the 
necessary services were obtained to the best financial advantage of the government. Cir. 
Let. No. 23, M. B., March 24, 1921.) 

Claims for Damages During Camp. Claims for damages done to crops during a 
State encampment do not constitute a lawful charge against the allotment of the State 
under section 67 National Defense Act, unless before the encampment and maneuvers are 
held and the grounds are occupied, a lease has been executed providing for the placing of 
the leased premises in the same condition in which they were at the beginning of the en- 
campment and maneuvers, charging the State with the cost of such restoration. In case 
such lease is made the claims can be paid not as damage caseS; but as claims arising in the 
execution of a contractual obligation. The extent of the damages should be ascertained by 
a board of award consisting of three persons, one selected by the State, one by the lessor, 
and the third by these two. Payment of the amount due to the lessor should be made on 
Form No. 330, War Department, and the report of the board should be attached thereto 
as a sub voucher. Such payments when authorized will be made by the property and dis- 
bursing officer in the State. (Par. 679, N. G. R., '22.) 

3 58 



Damages May be Paid from Federal Funds. The appropriation under Section 67, 
National Defense Act, is properly chargeable with claims for damages done property during 
joint encampments of State and Regular troops, if it shall appear that the damage was 
caused by the movement of the troops as a whole and not by the act of an individual. 
Where unexpected movements necessitate the entering of a demesne not covered by lease 
the property so occupied is occupied subject to the rights of the owners of the land, and the 
law impHes a contract to pay rent to those owning the premises so used. (See Decision 
of Comptroller, Mar. 10, 1909.) (Par. 680, N. G. R., '22.) 

Claims must be Presented to State Authorities. Claim for damages on account 
of injuries sustained during participation in encampments, maneuvers, or other outdoor 
exercises can not be adjusted by the War Department, and should be presented to the 
State in whose service the parties were when the injuries were received. (See Decision 
War Department, Feb. 15, 1904.) (Par. 681, N. G. R., '22.) 



359 



E — 3. ENCAMPMENT PAY ROLLS 

Preparation of Pay Rolls. Pay Rolls on War Department forms 367 and 367a will 
be prepared in triplicate in accordance with the "Instructions" contained on the front cover 
page. The original and dupHcate copies will be submitted to the Regular Army mustering 
officer on duty with the National Guard of the State, as soon as practicable after the muster. 
The triplicate copy will be retained in the organization records. (Par. 917, N. G. R., '22. ) 

Record of Attendance. Will be- verified from the muster and other inspections of 
the mustering officer. 

Names to be entered on RoIL Same directions and instructions as for Armory Pay 
rolls. (Seepage 317.) 

Names of Members of Organization Only. The pay roll should contain the name 
of every officer and soldier who during the time included from the start from company 
armory to return thereto, has been a bona fide member of the organization, either active 
or reserve, whether he is entitled to pay or not, and the remarks in each case will be com- 
plete. 

The pay rolls will not show the names of any individuals who ceased to belong to the 
organization prior to the hour of assembly for the tour of camp duty. 

Men Discharged During Period of Pay Roll. Names of men discharged or trans- 
ferred during the encampment period will be carried at the end of the roll with appropriate 
remarks and in case of discharge the character of discharge will be noted. 

Discharged Men Reenlisted during Camp. The names of men who are discharged 
during the period covered by the roll and who re-enhst in the organization will be carried 
in the body of the roll only. 

Abbreviations. An authorized list of abbreviations is given under Armory pay rolls 
on page 318. 

Certificates Required on Rolls. Above the certificates on first page of Form 367 
will be written ''National Guard, State of (write name of State)." The certificate on the 
upper left-hand corner on first page of Form 367 will be signed on all three copies by the 
officers submitting the pay rolls, and spaces (b) and (c) filled out by addition of dates. 
(Instructions on Pay Roll Form.) 

The Muster Certificate will be signed for camp pay o^ all three rolls by the officer 
of the Regular Army designated to make the muster. (Instructions on Pay Roil Form.) 

The Certificates for Cash payment in the upper right hand of the cover page will 
be filled in and signed after cash payment, by the organization commander or other officer 
witnessing the payment. The upper certificate will be signed only on the original copy, the 
lov/er certificate on the duplicate copies of the roll. (Instructions on Pay Roll Form.) 

In case State payments are made on the same roll, four copies will be prepared, and 
two will be signed by those receiving cash. 

Signing of Rolls. Only one copy will be signed, and when carbon copies are made 
the original wiU alv/ays be the copy to be signed. The roll to be signed will always be com- 
pleted and fastened together before being signed. When it is known that payment is to be 
made by check none of the rolls will be signed. Only those who are to be paid will sign 
the roll; those who for any reason are not to be paid will not sign; if, however, in such case, 
the roll be inadvertently signed the signature will be erased. If for any reason a person 
whose name appears on the pay roll does not sign the roll and is not to be paid by check a 
line will be drawn through the space intended for his signature. All such linings out should 
be initialed by the officer who certifies to the correctness of the roll. (Par. 4, Spec. Reg. 
No. 58, W. D., 1916.) 

Ruling Extra Columns. The use of dots and the word "ditto" is prohibited, but 
when items such as authorized charges due the U. S. are to be made against a sufficiently 
large number of names, columns may be ruled therefor in the space under "Remarks." 
(Par. 8, Spec. Reg. No. 58, W. D., 1916.)

F. TARGET PRACTICE AND COMPETITIONS 

Camps for Target Practice. Outdoor target practice is included under the classi- 
fication of encampments and maneuvers in section 92, act of June 3, 1916. Outdoor target 
practice must therefore be in the nature of camps of instruction under canvas or in canton- 
ments to be credited as part of the 15 days in training required by the act, or to entitle the 
members of the National Guard to pay, transportation, and subsistence. (Par. 473, 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Authority for Company Practice. Application for authority to hold target prac- 
tice camps, or attend rifle matches with Federal pay, transportation and subsistence (for 
enlisted) will be made to the Adjutant General. of the State, and will include an estimate of 
cost of all expenses. 

Target Practice as Armory Drill, (e) Credit for not to exceed one assembly for 
armory drill in any one week and not to exceed eight such credits in any one calendar year 
may be given to a soldier for participation in target practice on a rifle range, provided that 
the target practice shall be supervised by a commissioned officer, and that not less than 8 
enlisted men of the same company, troop, or battery shall be present and engage in target 
practice for a continuous period of not less than 1 3^ hours, and provided further that the 
above provisions shall not apply to camps of instruction for field training or for camps for 
rifle practice. (Par. 928(/c), N. G. R., '22.) 

Conduct of Practice. 

All Small-Arms Target Practice will be conducted in accordance with the provisions 
of "Rifle Marksmanship" and "Pistol Marksmanship" and other regulations of the War 
Department. The expenditure of ammunition issued by the Federal Government, for 
purposes other than those authorized in "Rifle Marksmanship" and "Pistol Marksmanship" 
and other regulations of the War Department, is prohibited. (Par. 474, N. G. R., '22.) 

Supervision of Practice. All practice must be conducted under the immediate 
supervision of a commissioned officer of the National Guard, who shall be responsible that 
the requirements of the regulations are complied with. (Par. 475, N. G. R., '22.) 

Allowance of Small Arms Ammunition. The National Guard allowance for 
small-arms ammunition will be found on page 178, this volume under the chapter of 
allowances. 

Who Will Fire. All enlisted men armed with the rifle will be required to fire the 
courses prescribed in paragraph 102 (as amended) of "Rifle Marksmanship." All enUsted 
men in companies wherein 50 per cent of the enlisted personnel is armed with the rifle will 
be required to fire. All officers of less than 15 years commissioned and enlisted service, or 
duty with troops required to fire, will fire with their organizations. 

Cooks belonging to organizations armed with the rifle will fire. 

All officers, other than those of the Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps, 
and chaplains, are authorized, but not required, to fire any course. Officers may qualify 
for insignia, but not for pay. 

All enlisted men, except bandsmen, of Infantry, Cavalry, and Engineer regiments and 
of the Coast Artillery Corps, not included under paragraph 1102 (as amended) of "Rifle 
Marksmanship" are authorized but not required to fire. 

All enlisted men of staff departments and of staff corps are authorized but not re- 
quired to fire. 

Officers and enlisted men authorized but not required to fire, and who are not on duty 
with a company or troop which takes target practice, will, if they fire, be attached to organ- 
izations for practice and will be classified on the report of the organization to which so 
attached.

Who Will Fire Course "A" or "C.'* All organizations armed with the rifle as 
a weapon of offensive combat will fire Course "A," and the enhsted men thereof will be 
entitled to insignia and during field training to extra pay for quahfication as expert rifleman, 
sharpshooter, and marksman. This class includes Infantry, Cavalry and the personnel 
of the various staff corps authorized to fire. When a suitable range for that course is not 
available the MiUtia Bureau may grant permission to fire Course "B" or Course "C". 

365 



Report of target firing shall be forwarded to the Chief, Militia Bureau, as soon after the 
close of the practice season as practicable, but not later than March 31, of the following 
year. 

All organizations armed with the rifle primarily as a weapon of defense will fire Course 
"B," and the enlisted men thereof will be entitled to insignia and, during field training, to 
extra pay for quaHfication as sharpshooter and mark«man. This class includes head- 
quarters troops, miHtary police. Motor Transport companies, balloon and airship com- 
panies of the Air Service, and miscellaneous individuals armed with the rifle. (Par. 478. 
N. G. R., '22.) 

Who Will Fire Course "B." All organizations who are armed with the rifle, but 
whose main function is the service of weapons other than the rifle, and in whose branch of 
service pay is allowed for qualification with their principal weapons, will fire Course "B," 
and the enlisted men thereof will be entitled to insignia but not to pay for qualifications as 
sharpshooter and marksman. (Par. 478, N. G. R., '22.) 

Who Will Fire Course "D.** The Coast Artillery Corps will fire Course "D." 
Additional pay is not allowed for qualification as expert rifieman, sharpshooter and marks- 
man, Course "D," but will be allowed to those enlisted men, Coast Artillery Corps, who 
qualify as above in firing Course "A". (Par. 478, N. G. R., '22.) 

Records and Reports of Target Firing. Small arms practice will be recorded on the 
prescribed forms. The annual report of small-arms firing rendered by the Adjutant 
General of the States should show the consohdated reports of regiments and separate 
organizations of Infantry, Cavalry and Engineers in rifle and pistol practice, pistol practice 
for Field Artillery, and pistol practice and rifle practice Course "D" for Coast Artillery. 
(Par. 479, N. G. R., '22.) 

Small arms practice will be recorded on the following United States forms : — 

No. 304, A. G. O., Course A, Individual Rifle Record. 

No. 410, A. G. O., Course B, Individual Rifle Record. 

No. 304,1 A. G. O., Course D, Individual Rifle Record. 

No. 305, A. G. O., Individual Pistol Record. 

No. 307, A. G. O., Report of Individual Classification, Rifle. 

No. 308, A. G. O., Report of Individual Classification, Pistol. 

No. 506, A. G. O., Consohdated Regimental Report of Rifle firing. 

No. 15 (15a) M. B., Consohdated Regimental Report of small arms firing. 

The Company record of rifle marksmanship consists of the original score cards tabulated 
at the firing point during record practice. These score cards will be retained with the 
company records for one year, or until the end of the next regular practice season, when 
they will be disposed of in accordance with regulations. The scores in record practice, and 
in quaUfication of enlisted men, will be transcribed to their Service Records under the 
supervision of the company commander. 

National Trophy Award. The figure of merit for the National trophy awarded 
annually by the War Department will be computed by multiplying. 

(a) The number of expert riflemen by 1.00 

(b) The number of sharpshooters by .85 

(c) The number of marksmen by .75 

And adding the products thus obtained. (Par. 493, N. G. R., '22.) 

^Until Course D form is issued. 



366 



Courses for National Guard. National Guard organizations will fire Course A, 
unless a suitable range for that course is not available, in which case the Militia Bureau may 
grant permission to fire Course B or Course C. A report of target firing shall be forwarded 
to the Chief of the Militia Bureau as soon after the close of the practice season as practicable, 
but not later than March 31 of the following year. (Par. 103, Rifle Marksmanship, W. D.

Each 10 shots in Table IV are to be fired in two scores of two clips each, the clips in 
each case to contain range dummies and loaded cartridges mixed. After Tables I, II, III, 
and IV have been fired such additional practice will be held as time and ammunition allow- 
ance will permit. It is best to alternate slow and rapid fire at the ranges and in the posi- 
tions laid down for the record course. Usually more rapid-fire practice is needed than 
slow-fire practice. 

The firing of rapid-fire scores with mixed range dummies will not be limited to the first 
time over the course. This form of practice is excellent training and should be carried on 
until a few days before firing the record course. It is good instruction to precede each full 
score of 10 loaded cartridges by a score of two clips in which 5 range dummies and 5 loaded 
cartridges are mixed. 

The instruction practice prescribed in Tables I, II, III, and IV need not be followed 
rigidly when unusual local conditions make a change advisable in the opinion of the officer 
in charge of the firing. The general plan as outHned in these tables will, however, be 
followed. (Par. 105, Rifle Marksmanship W. D. Doc, 1021.)

Qualification. All, who make 293 or over on the record course are qualified as expert 
riflemen, 275 or over as sharpshooters, 240 or over as marksmen. All who make under 240 
are classed as unqualified. 

The qualification as expert rifleman, sharpshooter, marksman is held for one year. 

Recruits and men who did not fire in the regular season's practice but who fire in the 
supplementary season hold the qualification attained for one year, unless they increase their 
qualification during the next regular season's practice. 

Qualification increased in the regular season's practice goes into effect on the date on 
which made, as does also qualification equal to that already held. 

Decreased qualification made in the regular season's practice takes effect on the date 
on which the previous qualification expires but remains in effect on|ly for a year from the 
date on v/hich made. 

Any quahfication attained after the previous qualification has expired takes effect on 
the date on which it is made. (Par. 107, Rifle Marksmanship, W. D., Doc. 1021.) 

Long Range Practice. After an organization has completed record firing in Course 
A, men who have qualified as expert rifleman will take the long-range practice. 

The course will be fired at least three times, twice as instruction practice and once for 
record. In order to obtain the maximum instruction in the effects of weather conditions 
the course will not be fired more than once on any one day. Long-range practice need not 
be fired during the target practice season, but may be fired at any time before the end 
of the target year.

This practice will be conducted as prescribed for slow fire. 

Instruction will be given in the effect of wind, light, and temperature and the value of 
small changes in elevation and windage at long ranges. 

Long-range firing does not effect a soldier's quahfication, but a record of the scores 
made will be included in the company target report. 

For engineers this practice will be held at the discretion of the BattaKon commander.

Qualification. (Par. 112b C. R. M. April, 1921.) 

All who make 251 or over on the record course are qualified as expert riflemen, 236 or 
over as sharpshooters, 206 or over as marksmen. All who make under 206 are classed as 
unquahfied. 

The qualification as expert rifleman, sharpshooter, or marksman is held for one year. 

The badges shall be the same as for quahfication in Course A. Additional pay is 
allowed for quahfication in Course A only. (Par. 112c C. R. M., April, 1921.) 

Insignia. To each officer and soldier quaHfying for the first time as expert rifleman, 
sharpshooter, and marksman, certain insignia, indicating their skill in marksmanship, will 

370 



be issued. In case of loss or damage new issue may be made as provided for in Paragraph 
118. 

Insignia may be worn for one year from the date of qualification or requalification, ex- 
cept that the quahfication as expert rifleman once attained, the badge may be worn there- 
after. 

Officers not required to fire may wear the insignia of last quahfication. 

The insignia for qualification in Course A are of silver, and for qualification in Courses 
B and C, of bronze. (Par. 114, Rifle Marksmanship, W. D., Doc. 1021.) 

Marksman's Pin. To the marksman when first qualifying as such, a marksman's 
pin will be issued. (Par. 115, Rifle Marksmanship, W. D., Doc. 1021.) 

Sharpshooter's Badge. To the sharpshooter a silver badge will be issued. To 
those who have quahfied as sharpshooters for three years, not necessarily consecutive years, 
nor, in the case of enlisted men, in the same enlistment, a silver bar will be issued, on which 
the three years of their qualifications will be indicated, and this will be attached to the badge 
below the pin. For each additional three years of qualification an additional bar will be 
issued, and each in succession attached below the one previously supplied. (Par. 116, 
Rifle Marksmanship, W. D., Doc. 1921.) 

Expert Rifleman's Badge. To the expert rifleman a silver badge will be issued. To 
those who have quahfied as expert rifleman for three years, not necessarily consecutive years, 
nor, in the case of enlisted men, in the same enlistment, a silver bat will be issued, on which 
the three years of their quahfications will be indicated, and this will be attached to the badge 
below the pin. For each additional three years of qualification an additional bar will be 
issued, and each in succession attached below the one previously supplied. (Par. 117, 
Rifle Marksmanship, W. D., Doc. 1021.) 

How Obtained. Immediately after the close of the practice season the company 
commander will report by letter to the commanding officer the names of men in his organi- 
zation who have made a new or a renewed qualification. With this letter the company 
commander will submit a requisition for the required number of badges and bars, to the 
Adjutant General of the State. (Par. 119, Rifle Marksmanship, W. D., Doc. 1021.)

(Par. 74, Pist. Alarksmanship.) 

Who will fire. Dismounted Course. All officers armed with the pistol and with 
less than 15 years' service, commissioned or commissioned and enlisted, and all enlisted 
men armed with the pistol are required to fire the dismounted pistol course. Officers 
armed with the pistol and with over 15 years' service, commissioned or commissioned 
and enhsted, are authorized but not required to fire. (Par. 75, Pist. Marksmanship.) 

371 



Ammunition. Allowance. For instruction practice — 98 rounds, for record 
practice, 70 rounds. Total of 168 rounds. 

Order of procedure in range firing. Pistol firing commences with instruction 
practice, which is completed for each soldier before he proceeds to record practice. 

The soldier may thus be advanced to record practice immediately after he has com- 
pleted instruction practice without waiting for others less advanced. While engaged in 
record practice the soldier will do no other firing. (Par. 79. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

Modification of coures. Whenever the exigencies of the service do not permit 
of the firing of the prescribed course in full, the commanding general of a department, 
corps area, or of a tactical division in the field is authorized to modify the course with a 
view to securing the maximum of training within the hmits of time and ammunition allow- 
ance; but neither officers nor enlisted personnel who do not fire the course regularly pre- 
scribed in these regulations, shall be classified. (Par. 80. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

Instruction Practice. Dismounted Course. The following tables prescribe the 
firing in instruction practice in the order followed by the individual soldier. Target L 
is used in much of the practice, as the bull's-eye makes competition keener and shows up 
errors as no other target can.

the soldier must fire seven shots within the prescribed limit of time, at the end of which 
the command "Cease firing" will be given. Intervals of time are measured from the last 
words of the commands. (Par. 83. Pistol Marksmanship.)

(Par. 84. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

The target is operated as a bobbing target. Three to five seconds after notice is 
received at the pit that all is ready at the firing point the target is alternately exposed to 
view and turned away from view of the firing point: exposures are of two or three seconds' 
duration, depending upon the range, with an interval of three to five seconds between 
exposures. The soldier stands at the firing point at "Raise, pistol." The pistol is loaded 

372 



and locked. Upon the first exposure of the target the soldier fires one shot at it before 
it disappears. He fires one shot at each reappearance until seven shots have been fired. 
The weapon is held between shots at ''Raise, pistol." The value of a hit on this target is 1.

This firing is to introduce the element of moving forward. The soldier halts to fire. 
Considerable loss of accuracy would result from firing while walking or running. 

Men to fire are formed in line at the 50-yard point, each opposite his own target, 
pistols loaded, locked, and held at "Raise, pistol." The targets are edge to the front. 

Four or five seconds after the pit is notified that all is ready at the firing point, targets 
are exposed twice for 5 seconds, with an interval of 2 to 5 seconds between exposures. 
The men fire one shot at each exposure. An interval of 10 seconds is then allowed, during 
which time the line advances at double time to the 25-yard point by command of the 
instructor, alignment being maintained. 

At the expiration of the 10-second interval the targets are exposed twice for 3 seconds, 
with an interval of 2 to 5 seconds between exposures. The men fire one shot at each 
exposure. An interval of 7 seconds is then allowed while the line advances as before at 
double time to the 15-yard point. At the expiration of the 7 seconds the targets are exposed 
three times for 2 seconds, with an interval of 2 to 5 seconds between exposures. The men 
fire one shot at each exposure 

Pistols are locked before moving forward and are held at "Raise, pistol" between 
shots. Visual signals should be used in the pit in order that the commands for exposing 
the targets may not be heard at the firing hne. (Par. 85. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

Record Practice. Dismounted Course. The following tables prescribe the firing 
in record practice in the order followed by the individual soldier. The procedure is as 
in instruction practice. (Par. 86. Pistol Marksmanship.)

from the dismounted course. Cavalry officers and enlisted men are required (or are author- 
ized) to fire the mounted course under the same conditions as are prescribed for the dis- 
mounted course in paragraph 75, except that cavalry recruits having no previous mounted 
service who join during the last six months of the target year are authorized but not required

Classification. Pistol Practice. All who are required or authorized to fire, and 
who are carried on the rolls of the organization, during any part of the practice season, 
or who are attached for practice by proper authority, will be classified according as they 
have met or failed to meet the requirements of qualification. 

All who are required or authorized to fire the dismounted course only wiU be graded, 
according to proficiency, as pistol experts, pistol sharpshooters, pistol marksmen, or unquali- 
fied. Cavalrymen, required to fire the mounted course also (sec par. 97), are classified 
in addition as mounted pistol experts, mounted pistol sharpshooters, mounted pistol marks- 
men, or unqualified, mounted. 

374 



An officer who attains the grade of pistol marksman or better will retain that classi- 
fication from the date of qualification until the next opportunity to requalify, or for one 
year if no opportunity for requalification is presented within that year. A soldier who 
has completed the dismounted course and is transferred thereafter, or who is discharged 
and reenlists, will not be given a second opportunity to qualify in the same year. In 
case the soldier, at the time of transfer, has not completed his record practice for that 
year, his company commander will complete his individual record sheet to date and attach 
it to the service record which accompanies him, and the soldier will complete his firing 
with the organization to which transferred. The same principles apply to mounted classi- 
fication. (Par. 118. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

Requirements, dismounted course. The requirements for qualification in the 
several grades of marksmanship, dismounted, are given in the following table: 

Classification, Dismounted. 



GRADE 



Pistol expert 

Pistol sharpshooter 
Pistol marksman . . 
Unqualified 



Average percentage on 
Tables V, VI, and VII 



At least 80 per cent. 
At least 70 per cent. 
At least 60 per cent. 
Less than 60 per cent. 



In applying the provisions of the above table the soldier's percentage in firing each 
of the Tables, V, VI, and VII is calculated separately; the sum of these percentages is 
then divided by three to give the final average percentage, (Par, 119. Pistol Marks- 
manship.) 

Requirements, mounted course. The requirements for qualification in the several 
grades of marksmanship, mounted, are given in the following table : 

Classification, Mounted. 



GRADE 


Percentage 






Mounted pistol sharpshooter 


At least 60 per cent. 






Unqualified, mounted 


Less than 50 per cent. 



(Par. 120. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

Insignia. To each officer or enlisted man qualifying for the first time as pistol ex- 
pert, pistol sharpshooter, or pistol marksman, certain insignia, indicating his skill in marks- 
manship, will be issued. Insignia may be worn from date of quahfication until the next 
opportunity to requalify, or for one year if no opportunity for requalification is presented 
within that year. Officers who are not required to fire may wear the insignia of last quah- 
fication. (Par. 121. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

How obtained. Immediately after the close of the practice season the company 
commander will report by letter to the commanding officer the names of men in his or- 
ganization who have made a new or renewed quahfication. With this letter the company 
commander will submit a requisition for the required number of badges and bars. This 
requisition wiU be disposed of as any other special ordnance requisition. (Par. 127. Pistol 
Marksmanship.) 

Records. Pistol Practice. The following records will be kept in each company 
as far as applicable: 

(a) The individual record of pistol firing. 

(6) The record of collective practice. 

During the regular practice season records wiU be kept in the possession of the com- 
pany commander. 

375 



The records of an officer attached to a company for practice will be duly attested and 
transmitted to the officer. 

The records of an enlisted man attached to a company for practice will be similarly 
attested and transmitted to the officer charged with the custody of the soldier's service 
record. (Par. 128. Pistol Marksmanship.) 

Reports. Pistol Practice. All reports of pistol firing will be submitted to the 
proper headquarters as soon as possible after completion of firing; the reports to be rendered 
as follows: 

(a) Report of individual classification in pistol practice (annual.) 

(b) Consolidated regimental report of classification, pistol practice. 

(c) Report of collective practice. 

As soon as possible after the close of the practice season the battalion commander 
will forward to the regimental commander the reports of individual classification in pistol 
practice of the companies of his battalion. With these he will submit a report of the col- 
lective practice. This report will be in letter form. (Par. 129 and 130. Pistol Marks- 
manship.)

ARTICLE VII 

MOBILIZATION OF THE NATIONAL GUARD 

{The following information from Circular No. 3, M B. 1920, which deals with the mobili- 
zation of the National Guard pending the revision of Special Regulations No. 55, War De- 
partment 1917, gives the main points of the duties of National Guard up to and including 
service at company Rendezvous.) 

Call or Draft. The issue of a call or draft by the President automatically places the 
organizations and personnel included in such call or draft in the United States service on 
the date specified in the call. Entry into such service does not depend on a formal ''muster" 
and acceptance by a "mustering officer." There is no intervening time between assembly 
at a company rendezvous and actual entry into United States service. 

Commissions of National Guard Officers on Mobilization. 

1. In the event of an emergency requiring the drafting into the Federal service of the 
National Guard, it is contemplated that the draft will be accomplished by means of a 
proclamation of the President. Under the provisions of Section III, National Defense Act 
as amended June 4, 1920, such draft necessarily discharges the officers from their National 
Guard commissions. Before they can serve in a commissioned capacity after such dis- 
charge, it will be necessary that they be appointed in the Officer's Reserve Corps, as 
contemplated in the seventh paragraph of Section 127a of said Act. 

2. In the event of the National Guard being drafted into the Federal service, the 
officers, properly qualified, will continue for the time being in their National Guard assign- 
ments held at the time of draft and will serve under reserve commissions, either previously 
held or granted as soon after the time of the draft as practicable. 

3. In the event of such a draft, before a policy can be made effective of having all 
National Guard officers appointed in time of peace in a similar grade and branch of the 
Officer's Reserve Corps, there will be three classes of drafted National Guard Officers. 

(1) Those who held commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps. 

(2) Those not holding commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps and who are to 
serve after the beginning of the emergency in one of the grades below that of Brigadier 
General. 

(3) Those not holding commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps, who are to serve 
after the beginning of the emergency in one of the grades above that of Colonel. 

4. The action necessary for those in Class (1) above will be to call them to active 
duty with organizations in which they are serving under their Reserve Corps commissions. 
This can be accomplished in the proclamation which drafts the National Guard organiza- 
tions. Those in Class (2) above will have to be appointed in the Reserve Corps. These 
appointments can be made by the President, alone, and may be accomplished either in a 
proclamation, or by an examination as to qualifications for appointment, as circum- 
stances at the time demand. Those in class (3) will have to be nominated for Confirmation 
by the Senate. If the Senate is in session at the time of the draft, a condition which may 
reasonably be assumed, these appointments cannot be tendered until the nominations have 
been made and confirmed by the Senate. If the Senate is not in session, recess appoint- 
ments may be issued. It will be impracticable to do this in the proclamation. 

5. It is desired that the action necessary in an emergency requiring the use of the 
National Guard be well understood by all concerned and that adequate preparations, for 

377 



such action be made. It is desirable that, so far as possible. National Guard Officers be 
appointed in time of peace in the Officers' Reserve Corps in the same grade and branch as 
held by them in the National Guard, provided they are qualified and ehgible therefor. In 
the event of an emergency requiring the drafting of the National Guard into Federal service, 
those National Guard Officers holding similar commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps 
will be called to duty thereunder. Those not so commissioned and found qualified will be 
appointed in the Officers' Reserve Corps in the same grade and branch as their National 
Guard Commission. Such appointments must be promptly tendered and accepted and 
oaths of office administered. When the National Guard is about to be drafted recom- 
mendation for the appointment in the Officers' Reserve Corps of general officers of the 
National Guard will be individually submitted with all pertinent records and data by the 
Chief of the Militia Bureau to the Chief of Staff. 

6. This office will make the necessary preparations for determining qualifications, 
tendering all appointments, securing the necessary oaths of office, reports and data, and 
issuing commissions. (Letter 321.151 M. B., April 26, 1921.) 

Assembly at Company Rendezvous. On the date specified in the call every unit 
of the National Guard included in the call will assemble at its armory or drill hall. 

Messing. Unit commanders will make immediate arrangements to provide food for 
their men. If they have cooking facihties thay may purchase food and operate their 
own messes. If not, each commander may obtain two or more emergency offers in writing 
for such service from restaurants, hotels or other competent sources, and accept the most 
favorable offer. Subsistence funds will be provided by the department or corps area 
commander on receipt of a report of strength of the command from the company commander 
or commander of larger units. Subsistence funds for organizations at rendezvous will be 
provided on the basis of 50 per cent increase above the current official value of the ration 
for the total enlisted strength of each organization from day to day. 

Quarters. Unit commanders will make immediate arrangements to provide sleeping 
accommodations for their men. In cases where enlisted men live at such distances as 
to make it impracticable for them to sleep at home, authority is given for the rental of 
necessary quarters at the lowest obtainable commercial rate. 

Sickness. In cases of men taken ill after reporting at a rendezvous, when no National 
Guard medical officer is available, the commanding officer will employ a civilian doctor 
when necessary, obtain medicines, and provide for suitable care at home or at a hospital 
when necessary. In all such cases proper vouchers must be made for attendance and for 
purchase of medicines on Forms 335 and 332 War Department. The company commander 
is responsible that these vouchers are properly prepared and certified. 

Physical Examination. On assembly of organizations under call or draft, company 
commanders will cause a careful physical examination to be made of both officers and 
enhsted men by a National Guard medical officer, if available, otherwise by a civilian 
physician employed and paid as above. This examination is for the purpose of discovering 
the presence of any infections or contagious disease and is not the physical examination 
referred to in Section 115 National Defense Act, which will be made at a later date. 

Any case of contagious or infectious disease found during this preliminary examin ation 
will be isolated at once and reported to the department or corps area commander by tele- 
graph, giving names. 

Advantage should also be taken of the opportunity offered by this prelimianry examina- 
tion to list all men who do not show positive evidence of successful vaccination and inocula- 
tion against smallpox and typhoid fever, respectively. These lists will be turned over 
to the commander of the mobilization camp on arrival thereat. 

Returns, Rosters, and Reports Required. Each company, troop, battery, or 
detachment commander will prepare: 

378 



(a) An initial return (on form used by the Regular Army), accounting in figures, 
for all members of the organization, present and absent, including attached personnel, 
such as members of the National Guard Reserve. In "Record of Events" appropriate 
explanatory notes will be entered. This return will be handed by the company commander 
in person to the authorized Federal inspector. 

(6) An initial Roster of troops (Form 703 A. G. O.) accounting for each individual 
of the organization, including attached personnel, present and absent, as of midnight of 
the day of assembly specified in the President's Call. 

Recruits accepted before midnight of the day of the call will appear on the initial roster. 
Those accepted after midnight of that day will not appear there, but will be shown on 
the follovvdng morning report and subsequent roster. 

Opposite the name of each absentee will be noted either "with leave" or "without 
leave." 

For preparation of this roster see Special Regulations 57 and 57a. 

It will be handed by the Company commander in person to the authorized Federal in- 
spector. 

(c) New Morning Reports and Sick Re-ports as of the date the organization assembles 
at company rendezvous (see Special Regulations No. 59). Morning Reports will include 
under "Remarks" the date and hour of arrived of each member of the organization. 

Recruiting. While at home stations (company rendezvous) company commanders 
will endeavor to recruit their organizations to as near maximum strength as possible. 

Reservists. All enlisted men of the National Guard Reserve not already formally 
assigned to a specified organization wiU report for duty at the most convenient company 
rendezvous, where they will be carried on company returns as "attached," and accompany 
such command to the mobilization camp, where they will be assigned as determined by 
the corps area commander. 

All assigned reservists will report for duty with units to which assigned. 

Discharge after Issue of Ca!!. No discharges will be given after the issue of the 
call or draft without the authority of the corps area conomander. 

Leaves of Absence. Company commanders will take immediate steps to revoke all 
leaves and to require the immediate attendance of all persons whose names appear on the 
roll who have not already reported. 

Equipment. Every organization answering a call or draft will take aU arms, ammu- 
nition, field equipment, and clothing in its possession to the mobilization camp, and all 
unserviceable property belonging to the United States. 

Preparation for Field Service. While at company rendezvous (home stations) 
company commanders will give their whole attention to preparing their commands for 
field service, including matters of equipment and instruction, and in recruiting them to 
as near maximum strength as possible. 

Mobilization Camp. There will ordinarily be one mobilization camp for each state. 
The Corps Area Commander will issue necessary orders for units to proceed from Company 
Rendezvous to mobilization camps.

Whenever a National Guard organization reaches a strength equal to 80 percent of the 
prescribed minimum for the Regular Army, that organization can appoint non-commissioned 
officers and give ratings to all specialists as prescribed in the peace strength tables for the 
Regular Army. (Cir. Letter No. 1, Mil. Bureau, 1921.)

The Best Manual Out 
for the Mounted Service! 

As to Military Training 

Arranged by Major John F. Wall, U. S. Cavalry 
267 Pages, Illustrations and Maps, $2.50 

"A handy compendium of useful information well adapted to 
the needs of the mounted service, and which any one enter- 
ing upon a military career may study with great profit." 

W. A. HOLBROOK, 
Major-General, U. S. Army, Chief of Cavalry. 

* As to Military Training" is a publication that ?Hould be in 
the hands of every officer of the National Guard, especially 
organization commanders. It is very well arranged and covers 
clearly and concisely every subject in which our officers should 
be proficient. It contains more real " meat " than, any pub- 
lication of its kind that I have seen. 

W. A. CORNELL, 

Lieut.-Coione), Cavalry Instructor, 

Iowa National Guard.
